Areas you can ride your e‑mobility device without age or licensing restrictions
In Queensland, anyone can ride an e-bike or personal mobility device in specific approved areas. This means that if you are under 16 or do not hold a driver's licence for any reason, there are still areas where you can ride.
Where you can ride
E-bikes
- Mountain bike trails (including shared trails)—for example, national parks, conservation parks and state forests
- Rail trails
- Private property (with permission)
- Commercial bike parks
Personal mobility devices
- Rail trails
- Private property (with permission)
- Commercial bike parks
Rules you must follow
- On trails in national parks, conservation parks, state forests and on rail trails, you must follow the Queensland Road Rules. This includes wearing your helmet, slowing down to 12km/h when passing pedestrians, and riding with care.
- At commercial bike parks, follow all rules set by the owner.
Learn more about the rules for riding e-bikes and personal mobility devices.
Where you cannot ride
Do not ride on any trails where your device is not allowed. Personal mobility devices are not allowed to be ridden on trails in national parks, conservation parks and state forests. Bikes (including e-bikes) are not allowed to be ridden on some trails.
