昆士兰州警方在电动自行车为期一年的整治行动启动首月内开展大规模执法，共发出991张交通罚单、扣押249辆违规车辆、指控24人酒后驾骑[1]。这些罚单平均每45分钟发出一张，被扣押车辆平均每天达8辆[1]。代理副警察局长莱斯·怀尔德曼表示："我们仍在检测使用不符合规定设备的骑手、不戴头盔、超速和令人担忧的酒后驾骑行为"[1]。
新规规定电动自行车时速不得超过25公里/小时[1]。从2025年8月底起，骑手需年满16岁并持有驾驶执照，12至17岁骑手在父母监督下的情况除外[1]。强制合规标签要求将从2027年2月底起实施[1]。这项整治计划运行至2027年6月底[1]。
Queensland police have intensified enforcement against non-compliant electric bicycles, issuing 991 traffic infringements during the first month of a year-long operation that commenced on July 1st [1]. The crackdown has also resulted in the impounding of 249 vehicles, averaging eight confiscations per day, and 24 people have been charged with riding under the influence [1].
The enforcement action follows new legislation that prohibits e-bikes exceeding 25 kilometers per hour [1]. From late August 2025, riders must be at least 16 years old and hold a valid driver's license, with an exception for ages 12 to 17 when supervised by a parent [1]. Mandatory compliance labeling requirements will take effect from the end of February 2027 [1].
Acting Deputy Commissioner Rhys Wildman stated: "We are still detecting riders using non-compliant equipment, not wearing helmets, speeding, and engaging in concerning drink-riding behavior" [1]. Operation Yankee Surety, the official name of the enforcement initiative, will run until June 30, 2027 [1].
