An operation in the NSW Hunter Region<\/a> netted 10 of those bikes, with another 36 modified bikes seized across Sydney\u2019s northern beaches. <\/p>\nAnother 22 e-bikes were taken off young riders in Sydney\u2019s south and the Illawarra last month, including in the Cronulla, Wollongong and Shellharbour regions.<\/p>\n

The lastest crashes come as the Coalition ramps up its targeting of the Minns Government\u2019s e-bike legislation.<\/p>\n
Opposition transport spokeswoman Natalie Ward on Monday accused NSW Transport Minister John Graham of letting a key piece of new legislation \u201cgather dust\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is tough on talk and soft on delivery. It is a weak response that ignores the community and lets injuries pile up while the report he promised sits on his desk. Accountability for the public and riders is currently the emergency room yet nothing for the Minister.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have an implementation plan for license plates paired with education. John Graham has admitted he has nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
