    The Queensland government has launched a parliamentary inquiry into the safety of e-scooters and e-bikes following a significant increase in accidents and fatalities. The move comes after eight deaths in 2024 and a 112% rise in related injuries since 2021. Transport and Main Roads Minister Brent Mickelberg stated that the increase in injuries and deaths due to unsafe and unlawful riding cannot be ignored. The inquiry will examine various aspects, including the benefits of e-mobility, causes of crashes, risks associated with lithium batteries, and the suitability of existing regulatory frameworks. It will also review enforcement tools available to tackle dangerous riding and public understanding of PMD rules. The inquiry will gather insights from community members, disability advocates, health experts, academics, industry players, and multiple tiers of government. Submissions can be made online until June 20, 2025, with the final report due by March 30, 2026.

    The inquiry aims to boost safety for both pedestrians and riders as Queensland prepares to host international visitors during the 2032 Games. Key areas under review include the environmental impact of e-mobility, frequency of crashes, and legal gaps that allow non-compliant devices to be sold or used. The government is seeking public input to improve safety and manage growing community concern.

    As part of the inquiry, the government will consider all research and opinions from various stakeholders. This comprehensive approach is expected to provide a thorough understanding of the issues surrounding e-scooter and e-bike safety in Queensland.
