What's the Legal Motor Size for E-Bikes in Australia?
For an e-bike to be street-legal in Australia, it must feature an electric motor with a maximum continuous rated power of 250 watts (250W). Additionally, the motor must be pedal-assist (pedelec) only, meaning it only engages while the rider is actively pedalling.
