What makes an electric bike road legal in Australia?

A road-legal e-bike (a pedal-assisted EPAC) has a motor up to 250W continuous, pedal-assistance that cuts out at 25 km/h, any throttle limited to 6 km/h, and EN 15194 certification. Every bike in this collection — the DiroDi Rover Road-Legal range — meets this standard and carries its EN 15194 certification on the frame.

Do I need a licence, registration or insurance?

No. A road-legal e-bike that meets the 250W / 25 km/h EPAC standard doesn't require registration, a licence or CTP insurance when ridden in line with your state's road rules.

Are these legal in my state?

It depends on the model. The 250W DiroDi Rover models are EN 15194 certified and road-legal in every Australian state and territory. The 500W models are road-legal in NSW only (currently, through to 1 March 2029) and are not road-legal in other states. Local rules can vary, so check your state's current rules — our Brisbane team can help.

Can I legally carry a passenger?

Yes, on a bike built and designed to carry one. The Rover Road-Legal models have a passenger-rated rear rack and a 150 kg total payload, and Australian rules permit two-up riding on e-bikes manufactured to carry a second person — including in Queensland.

Are they compliant with the new Queensland e-mobility laws?

Yes — the DiroDi Rover Road-Legal range is built to comply with the Queensland eMobility laws taking effect 1 July 2026, as well as the current national e-bike standard.

Where can I ride them?

Anywhere bicycles are allowed — roads, bike lanes and shared paths — following your local road rules. On a 250W road-legal e-bike you ride as a bicycle, not a registered vehicle.
