@fuck_cars Something I wish Australia would change is laws prohibiting any vehicles between a 200W ebike and a full motorcycle. I'd get a lot of value from a 60kmph limited 1kW ebike. But currently to sell such a thing it would have to comply with all motorcycle requirements, and things like ABS on both wheels is really not required for such a device.a

You don't have mopeds? Mopeds are usually good for at least 45 kmph?

Sounds like it depends on your state. Most states let you drive a moped (petrol or electric) on a car license.

Generally they're limited to 50km/h and 50CC/4kW to be a moped, rather than a motorcycle.

If you're doing 60km/h you need proper brake lights and ABS.

@LovesTha @fuck_cars at what point do you need better-than-minimal brakes and lights? What training and what PPE should be required? If Are you a motorcycle rider and so know what 60 on 2 wheels means?
