Just saying I’m not a fan but what did they do wrong the Lycra brigade do much worse at least these kids stopped at the light

Wow thats a lot of people in the same space as one of those massive SUVs carrying a single person.

Well they can’t go on the pedestrian walkway there, but they’re otherwise completely legal. The road was made for transport, not just for cars.

Everyone’s reaction when kids finally go outside.

God forbid kids getting out of the house. They’re wearing helmets and aren’t causing any trouble, what’s the issue?

Complains when kids are doing the illegal, stupid shit, being nuisances
Complains when kids are out being active doing pro social things, again apparently nuisances
They can’t win can they

Children (if that’s who this is) riding illegally overpowered ebikes as motorbikes (as this seems) is a genuine problem. Safety issues.

They are riding at a decent speed. If they are slow cunts then that’s a different story

Regardless of opinion, their behaviour or having a helmet on, as one commenter linked, these all appear to be illegal e-bikes under QLD road rules. I see very few if any being primarily pedal powered and none appear to be road registered.

We all know that when these kids start driving, they’ll be calling out this kind of stuff too. Personally, I wouldn’t want my kid taking this sort of risk, knowing how bad drivers can be on the road.

The other day I was walking my dog down past an easement where the hv power lines are.
There was 1/2 a dozen kids on over powered ebikes practicing wheelies and stoppies on the grass and just generally riding too fast. But they were in an area that no one else uses and weren’t hurting anyone.
I couldn’t help but think how much less annoying it is than the 2 stroke bikes that used to do the same thing when I was a kid.
The current laws and actions of kids on e-bikes isn’t great, but blanket bans aren’t the answer and putting in place appropriate controls, licensing, registration and insurance is a far better solution.

Cutting off the tradie Ute was poor form and the guy being dinked on the back, maybe.
If e-bikes are illegal why are we allowing them to be processed through customs. If they took it seriously, the cargo should be held at the land side warehouse costing the BCO money for every day they are stored until they’re booked in another ship and sent elsewhere.

Bunch of kids having fun, all wearing helmets and waiting for the green light. What’s the problem?

You could also ask cops whether or not it’s legal? As if you’ll get a fully appropriate answer on this sub without someone else arguing about it.

When i was young, we never stayed home playing computer games. We went outside and played… rode our bikes… Kids these days need to get out and be active!!
… No, not like that!!

One of the funniest videos I’ve seen. Just when you think surely that’s enough kids on bikes, 4 more arrive.

Kids cycling on the road need to act more like a pedestrian than a car. They aren’t licensed to know the road rules, and are violating a lot of rules. Shouldn’t be riding in busy areas weaving across the road and lane filtering.
It’s really not smart competing with cars in a lack of PPE. They are heavily reliant on car drivers giving them space and driving defensively. It’s irresponsible and illegal.
It’ll take a death or 2 before action.

When I see this, all I can think (aside from being concerned about them being hit by a car or truck) is how poor our bike infrastructure is here. Imagine if we had extensive infrastructure that had room for pedestrians, bicycles and electric bikes and was interconnected with light rail. Hell, maybe there might be less cars on the road.

Grouping bike riders should be illegal, this is dangerous, accidents happen in a blink of an eye.

Every single one of those children has parents that agreed to buy them an unregistered motorcycle. Those are the people we should be annoyed by.

These ebikes are here to stay. What we’re seeing is a shift away from poor transport options like buses/trains etc to a more convenient one. Honestly the problem is old rusted on car drivers unwilling to accept that there are other ways to get around. The regulation/legislation always takes time to catch up but the infrastructure decades.
Don’t rely on govt and law enforcement to do to the job of being a decent human being and adapting to change. Stop being angry and just smile and be thankful. There are way more law breaking car drivers than law breaking kiddies on ebikes. Think about that for a bit before you get outraged at them.

None of them pedal when they take off from the line, they aren’t ebikes, they are electric motorbikes
