📱 QR-verified qualification you scan yourself
💳 $49 once · no account to buy · lifetime access

The one who waves the car through at the roundabout.

Doubles nobody, and can tell you why. Rings the bell before the corner rather than on it. Checks on the mate who came off. Your teen becomes that rider over ten short modules on the couch, tested until each one sticks.

Owns every intersection

Give way is a skill, and any teen can learn it. Modules 06 and 07 drill the give-way hierarchy, traffic lights and roundabouts scenario by scenario, until your teen rides like the person other riders copy. Those same road rules sit on the driver knowledge test at 16, so they walk in already knowing them. No official credit, just a head start.

  • Give way, lights and roundabouts, scenario by scenario
  • The same rules they'll sit for their Ls, banked early

Looks after their mates

The right way to handle "give us a double": when a passenger is legal (proper seat, foot pegs, helmet on the mate), and what 20–30 kg of extra weight does to braking distance (up to 50% longer). Module 05 teaches the law and the physics, so looking after the crew comes down to knowledge rather than luck.

  • The passenger rules, in plain English
  • The physics of carrying a mate, taught then tested

Charges it so the garage stays boring

Where to charge, what to unplug, and the early signs of a battery that has had enough. Module 04 turns all of it into a routine your teen runs without being asked, which is one less thing the whole household has to think about.

  • The charging routine that becomes automatic
  • The warning signs that mean stop and check

Seen, lit, and home on time

Lights on before dark, the gear that shows up in headlights, and the wet-road stopping maths most teens have never been shown: 12.6 metres at 25 km/h. Modules 01–03 cover being seen, helmet fit, and the 60-second pre-ride check that confident riders run without thinking.

You have said most of this before, and from a parent it lands as nagging. Here it arrives as a quiz they cannot get past until it sticks, and a qualification they are proud to hold.

Why a trained generation changes the paths we all share

Riders aged 10–25 see twice the brain-injury rate of regular cyclists, so helmet fit gets a module of its own (University of Melbourne, 2025) Most serious eBike injuries happen after dark, so lights and visibility open the course (St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney) 318 lithium battery fires in NSW in 2024, which is why safe charging is taught and tested (Fire and Rescue NSW) 12.6 m to stop at 25 km/h in the wet →

One payment. Everything in. Theirs for life.

The bike was $2,000. The helmet was $89. The part that makes them ready is $49, once, for life. No subscription, no renewal, no account needed to buy.

Please read: what the Rider Qualification is, and is not

  • It is a course qualification: earned proof that the rider completed the training and passed every assessment. It is not a government licence. No state or territory transport authority, road rules regulator or police force recognises it, and it does not permit anything the law would otherwise prohibit.
  • Your school or club may choose to recognise it as proof of completed eBike road-safety training, and some insurers may accept it as evidence of training. Check with them for details.
  • The give-way and intersection road rules it covers are the same ones on the driver knowledge test at 16, so it gives them a head start on their Ls. It carries no official credit.

🏫 Schools, clubs & groups: voucher packs make good end-of-season awards, with a free kit at ebikesafe.com.au/schools, or contact us for volume pricing.

Getting begged for one? Perfect timing.

If the bike hasn't been bought, the deal writes itself: the bike is the present, the qualification is the permission. It settles "are they ready?", and you'll know what's legal before you spend a dollar.

Make it the deal: "Yes, once it's earned."

Not "no". Not "we'll see". "Earn the qualification, then we'll talk bikes." The begging ends without a fight, a keen teen can finish inside a week, and they roll out on day one riding like someone who has been taught, because they have.

  • Turns "are they ready?" into something they can prove
  • Works months ahead of a birthday or Christmas

Know what's legal before you're standing in the shop

A legal eBike has working pedals, a motor of 250W or less, and assistance that cuts out at 25 km/h. Throttle-only riding above walking pace isn't permitted on most Australian roads. Plenty of bikes sold online fall outside those limits, and since May 2026 NSW police have been able to seize non-compliant eBikes. Module 00 gives you the checklist for free, before you spend a dollar.

Nothing is wasted by buying it now

The course doesn't require a bike, and the code never expires. Buy it while it's on your mind and the deal keeps until the birthday, the report card, or whenever you decide. All 8 states and territories covered, including Queensland's new rules in force since 31 August 2026.

Kids ride in packs. Safety works best the same way.

One qualified rider changes how the whole group rides: the give-way call at the roundabout, the lights before dark, the right answer to "give us a double". The best safety gear on any street is a friend who knows what they're doing.

Ten short modules. Every one of them earns something.

Written for riders aged 11 to 17 in plain English, with real scenarios, animated recaps and no lecturing. It teaches skills alongside the rules: emergency braking, the door zone, hazard perception. A must-pass quiz ends every module after the free intro, and the 15-question final gates the qualification. Module 00 is free, so read it yourself before you pay a cent.

00

Introduction · ~10 min · FREE

What makes an eBike legal (250W, 25 km/h cut-out, working pedals) and why the extra speed deserves real skills. Read it free first.

01

Being Seen · ~15 min

The rider drivers notice: lights, positioning and the night-ride setup that gets them seen, and home. Most serious injuries happen after dark, so this module opens the course.

02

Helmet, Gear & Being Visible · ~15 min

Helmet fit that protects, and the standard each state accepts, including Tasmania's stricter AS/NZS 2063-only rule.

03

Bike Condition · ~15 min

The 60-second ABCDE pre-ride check, emergency braking, and the wet-road stopping maths that turns speed into judgement.

04

Safe Charging · ~10 min

The charging habits that keep the garage boring: where to charge, what to unplug, and the signs of a battery that has had enough.

05

Being Heard · ~10 min

Bells, shared paths and the people walking on them, plus the passenger rules: the right answer to "give us a double", and what a mate's weight does to braking.

06

Australian Road Rules · ~10 min

Where they can legally ride, and the road rules they'll carry into driving: the same ones on the driver knowledge test at 16.

07

Intersections · ~10 min

Give way, lights and roundabouts, plus left hooks and truck blind spots. The module that makes them the rider other riders copy.

08

Securing Your eBike · ~15 min

Locks, locking technique and battery security. Most eBike theft is opportunistic, and a qualified rider doesn't give it the opportunity.

09

Putting It Together · ~25 min

Hazard-perception scenarios, then the 15-question final. Pass it and the Rider Qualification issues on the spot.

The rules changed this year. The course keeps them ahead of it.

Everything in the course comes from official Australian government sources, and 2026 brought real changes, especially in Queensland, where the biggest took effect on 31 August 2026. A qualified rider knows the rules before the roadside conversation rather than after it.

Questions parents actually ask

How does buying it for my teen actually work?

You pay $49 with no account needed. A unique voucher code is emailed to you the moment payment clears. Your teen redeems it at ebikesafe.com.au/redeem with their own free account (sign-in is by email link, Google, or Microsoft, so there is no password to manage). The code never expires, so you can buy now and hand it over whenever you like.

Can I check they did the work rather than clicking through?

Yes. Every module after the free intro ends with a quiz they must pass before the next one unlocks, and the course finishes with a 15-question final assessment. When they pass, their Rider Qualification carries a unique QR code. Scan it with your phone and ebikesafe.com.au confirms it is genuine, who earned it, and when it was issued.

Does it help with their real licence later?

Yes, as a head start. The give-way and intersection rules in this course are the same road rules on the driver knowledge test when teens go for their Ls at 16. The Rider Qualification earns no official credit and is not a government licence. What it gives them is years of practising those rules on the road before they ever sit the test.

We haven't bought the eBike yet. Should we wait?

Don't wait. This is the course's best moment. It doesn't require a bike, and "earn the qualification first, then we'll go shopping" turns are they ready? into something your teen can prove. You'll also walk into the shop knowing what's legal (working pedals, 250W, 25 km/h cut-out) before you put $1,000–$3,000 on the counter. The code never expires, so nothing is wasted however long the bike takes.

How do I avoid buying an illegal eBike?

A legal eBike in Australia has working pedals, a maximum of 250 watts continuous motor power, and assistance that cuts out at 25 km/h — and throttle-only riding above walking pace isn't permitted on most Australian roads. Plenty of bikes sold online don't comply, and since May 2026 NSW police can seize and destroy non-compliant eBikes on the spot. From December 2025, all new imports must meet EN 15194. Module 00 covers the whole checklist, free — read it before you shop.

Will my teen actually finish it without me standing over them?

It's written for riders aged 11–17: short modules of 10 to 25 minutes, plain English, real scenarios, no lecturing. The quiz gates work like game levels, where passing one unlocks the next. The strongest motivator costs you nothing, because the qualification only exists once they pass the final assessment. Tie the bike or the next ride to earning it and you won't need to stand over anyone. The road-rules modules also give them a head start on the driver knowledge test at 16, which most teens are quietly interested in.

How long does it take, and what if they don't finish?

A little over two hours of content, split into ten modules of 10 to 25 minutes and usually spread over a few sessions. There's no time limit. Progress saves on its own, access is lifetime, and the code never expires, so a slow month costs nothing. Nobody can pass off a half-done course as finished, because the qualification only issues once every quiz and the 15-question final are passed.

Is it actually illegal to double a mate on the back?

Generally, yes. A passenger is only legal if the bike is designed and built to carry one, meaning a proper passenger seat, foot pegs, and an approved helmet on the passenger. The exact rules vary by state. Module 05 covers the law, plus the physics most teens have never heard: even 20 to 30 kg of extra weight can stretch braking distance by up to 50%, and a mate weighs more than that. Knowing both is how a rider looks after the people around them.

Is the Rider Qualification a government licence?

No, and we're upfront about that. The Rider Qualification is a course qualification, not a government licence; it is not recognised by any state transport authority or police force. It is earned, verified proof of completed safety training that your teen can show you, a school, or a future employer, and that nobody can get without doing the work.

Why pay $49 when government resources are free?

Government fact sheets are good information with nothing behind them: no structure, no testing, no certificate, nothing for you to check. eBikeSafe is a course, with a quiz gate on every module, a 15-question final assessment, and a QR-verified qualification you can scan. Free information can't tell you whether any of it went in.

Can I vet the content before I pay?

Yes. Module 00 is free, with no card required. Read it yourself, see exactly how the course looks and feels, then buy the voucher whenever you're ready.

Does this course cover my state?

Yes, and the differences matter. Tasmania only accepts AS/NZS 2063 helmets (a European EN 1078 helmet isn't legal there). QLD now caps footpath speed at 12 km/h with fines up to $1,986 (since 1 July 2026), and since 31 August 2026 riders 16+ need a learner licence and under-16s are banned from public roads and paths (ages 12–17 can ride supervised by a parent or caregiver). The course flags every state-specific rule throughout. See the full state-by-state comparison →

What ages is the course for?

The content is written for riders aged roughly 11 to 17, in plain English, with real scenarios and no lecturing. It works just as well for adults, since the road rules are the same.
