The NSW Liberals and Nationals are accusing the Minns Labor Government of prioritising spin over substance on shared e-bikes, with its regulatory scheme to be implemented more than seven months after the legislation was passed.
In November 2025, the Road Transport and Other Legislation Amendment (Micromobility Vehicles and Smartcards) Bill 2025 passed the Parliament with the support of the Opposition.
222 days later the regulatory scheme is still not in effect, and the Minns Labor Government is reannouncing promised action "in the coming months" rather than explaining why the reforms have not already been delivered.
The Minns Labor Government also hasn’t clarified when a private e-bike will crushed, how they intend to improve the behaviour of young e-bike riders or when their own regulatory schemes will come into effect.
Shadow Minister for Transport Natalie Ward said today's announcement was another example of the Government celebrating legislation while failing to deliver results.
"The Minns Labor Government is asking for applause for a regulatory scheme that still isn't operating."
"Communities have spent months dealing with e-bikes dumped across footpaths, blocking access for parents with prams, people with disability and older residents, yet John Graham refuses to tell people when these laws will actually take effect."
"People don't need another press conference. They need a government that can deliver what it has already promised."
