The one who waves the car through at the roundabout.

Doubles nobody — and can tell you why. Rings the bell before the corner, not on it. Checks on the mate who came off. That kid isn't born. That kid is taught — ten modules, done on the couch, tested until it sticks.

Owns every intersection

Give way isn't instinct — it's a skill, and it's completely learnable. Modules 06 and 07 drill the give-way hierarchy, traffic lights and roundabouts scenario by scenario, until they ride like the person other riders copy. And here's the quiet bonus: these are the very same road rules on the driver knowledge test at 16 — no official credit, just a genuine head start on their Ls.

  • 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" — knowing when a passenger is legal (proper seat, foot pegs, helmet on the mate) and what 20–30 kg of extra weight really does to braking distance (up to 50% longer). Module 05 teaches the law and the physics, so looking after the crew is knowledge, not 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 warning signs of a battery that's had enough. Module 04 builds the habits that protect the whole house — the kind of quietly competent routine you'll never have to remind them about again.

  • 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 actually shows up in headlights, and the wet-road stopping maths almost no teen has ever been told — 12.6 metres at 25 km/h in the wet. Modules 01–03 cover being seen, helmet fit, and the 60-second pre-ride check confident riders do without thinking.

You've said most of this before. From a parent, it's nagging. In here, it's a quiz they can't get past until it sticks — and a qualification they're proud to earn.

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: it is not recognised by any state or territory transport authority, road rules regulator, or police force, 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 — a genuine head start on their Ls, though it carries no official credit.

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 exactly 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." It ends the begging without a fight, a keen teen can finish it inside a week, and they roll out on day one already riding like they've 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 — 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 non-compliant eBikes on the spot. Module 00 gives you the checklist, 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 landing 31 August 2026.

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

One qualified rider in the group 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 the street is a friend who knows what they're doing.

Ten short modules. Every one of them earns something.

Written for riders aged 11–17 — plain English, real scenarios, animated recaps, zero lecturing. It teaches skills, not just 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 completely free — read it yourself before you pay a cent.

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

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 land on 31 August 2026. A qualified rider knows the rules before the roadside conversation, not after.

All new eBikes imported into Australia must meet EN 15194 standard from December 2025 All states & territories

Questions parents actually ask

How does buying it for my teen actually work?

You pay $49 — 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 — no password to manage). The code never expires, so you can buy now and hand it over whenever you like.

Can I check they actually did it — not just clicked 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's genuine, who earned it, and when it was issued.

Does it help with their real licence later?

Genuinely, yes — as a head start. The give-way and intersection rules in this course are the very same road rules on the driver knowledge test when teens go for their Ls at 16. eBikeSafe doesn't earn any official credit — the Rider Qualification isn't a government licence — but a rider who already knows these rules cold walks into that test having practised them on the road for years.

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 10–25 minutes, plain English, real scenarios, no lecturing — and the quiz gates work like game levels: pass one, unlock the next. The strongest motivator costs you nothing: the qualification only exists once they pass the final assessment. If the bike — or the next ride — depends on earning it, you won't need to stand over anyone. And the road-rules modules double as a head start on the driver knowledge test at 16, which most teens are quietly very interested in.

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

It's a little over two hours of content — ten modules of 10–25 minutes, usually spread over a few sessions. There's no time limit: progress saves automatically, access is lifetime, and the code never expires, so a slow month costs nothing. And a half-done course can't be passed off as done — the qualification only issues after 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 — a proper passenger seat, foot pegs, and an approved helmet on the passenger — and the exact rules vary by state. Module 05 covers the law, plus the physics most teens have never heard: even 20–30 kg of extra weight can stretch braking distance by up to 50%, and a mate weighs more than that. A qualified rider knows both — which is exactly how they look after their mates.

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's earned, verified proof of completed safety training — something your teen can show you, a school, or a future employer, and something no one 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: 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 completely free — 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 from 31 August 2026 riders 16+ need a learner licence and under-16s are banned from public roads and paths (a supervised 12–17 exemption is being finalised). 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 11–17 — plain English, real scenarios, no lecturing. It's equally valid for adults; the road rules are the same.
