The government announced a crackdown on e-bike misuse, targeting drunk riding and what it described as "wild west" parking practices. The measures aim to address growing concerns over safety and pavement obstruction caused by electric bicycles.
New Enforcement Measures
Authorities will impose stricter penalties for riding e-bikes under the influence of alcohol and for parking that blocks pedestrian pathways. The initiative responds to complaints from local councils and residents about hazardous parking and reckless riding.
Addressing Safety Concerns
Officials said the crackdown seeks to bring order to the rapidly expanding e-bike sector, balancing promotion of green transport with public safety. Further details on fines and enforcement timelines are expected to be published shortly.
