NSW police seize 36 illegal ebikes on northern beaches
New South Wales police seized 36 illegal electric bikes from riders on the northern beaches in Sydney following a coordinated operation.
Operation targets high-speed bikes
The seizure occurred just weeks after authorities received new powers to destroy dangerous vehicles. Police stated the operation aimed to ensure only legal ebikes remain on public roads. One of the seized units belonged to a 14-year-old boy from Warriewood and could reach speeds over 90km/h.
Bikes face destruction soon
Owners have 14 days to report if a bike was stolen before it is crushed. After this window closes, the government will remove non-compliant vehicles from the streets permanently. Police confirmed they plan to launch more operations across the state in coming weeks.
