Investigating officers don’t think the e-bike had lights on at the time of the crash. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Police called on anyone who saw the crash or had footage or other information to come forward.<\/p>\n

The forensic crash unit is investigating.<\/p>\n

Calls for restrictions on e-bikes have been growing as the number of riders, particularly children, dying or suffering serious injuries grows.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Laws vary significantly from state to state and there’s no nationally consistent age limit or other regulations.<\/p>\n

Only Western Australia imposes an age-limit on e-bike riders\ufeff.<\/p>\n

Queensland allows people of any age to ride one on most roads and paths without a licence so long as it complies with power limits.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe government is considering the recommendations of a parliamentary inquiry report handed down earlier this month.<\/p>\n

It included calls for the devices to be restricted to people aged 16 and over and limit footpath speeds to 10km\/h, among other changes.<\/p>\n
