E-micromobility Action Plan

The NSW Government is committed to enabling and promoting electric-powered bikes, scooters and other devices as a safe, accessible and sustainable transport option across the state. Find out more about how we are making this happen through our E-micromobility Action Plan.

Buying an e-bike?

Not all e-bikes available for sale in NSW are legal to ride on our roads and paths. NSW plans to cap maximum power for road legal e-bikes at 250 Watts (down from 500W) to match other states. Choose an e-bike that meets European Standard EN 15194 and make sure the motor is 250W max (continuous rated power) – anything higher will soon be phased out in NSW.

About the E-micromobility Action Plan

E-micromobility presents a significant opportunity to shape the future transport network, and how people interact with it. It can offer mode choice to people and reduce the use of cars for short trips.

This means e-micromobility can deliver benefits to riders, but also the broader community – across urban, regional and remote parts of the state.

The NSW E-micromobility Action Plan 2025 has three focus outcomes to support the NSW Government’s goal of promoting e-micromobility as a safe, sustainable and accessible transport option.

It replaces the first Action Plan, released in October 2024, to reflect work delivered and new commitments.
