NSW considering plan to halve power and top speed of ebikes as rider dies in collision with garbage truck

Following a fatal collision between an ebike rider and a garbage truck in central Sydney, New South Wales is contemplating reducing the maximum power and speed of ebikes. The proposed plan aims to enhance safety regulations for these increasingly popular vehicles. NSW police have urged parents to prioritize legal and safe ebikes when considering them as Christmas gifts for their children. This plea comes amidst concerns about the dangers posed by more powerful, modified ebikes.
