Do I Need a License or Helmet to Ride an E-Bike?
In Australia, you do not need a driver's license, registration, or compulsory third-party insurance to ride a street-legal, 250W pedal-assist e-bike. However, it is a strict legal requirement nationwide that you must wear an approved, properly fitted bicycle helmet at all times while riding.
