Queensland is considering banning e-scooters and e-bikes for under-16s following a parliamentary inquiry, after eight deaths and rising injuries involving these devices on Queensland roads in the past year.

The federal government reversed its 2021 decision just before Christmas, now blocking imports of these illegal devices, though hundreds of thousands already exist on Australian roads.
