Why we built eBikeSafe
eBikeSafe exists because young riders are sharing roads with cars before they've had any opportunity to learn the rules — and that's not their fault.
It started with near-misses
Our community has a lot of eBikes. That's mostly a good thing — they get people off buses, out of cars, and moving under their own steam. But over time it became hard to ignore how many close calls were happening: riders cutting across intersections, riding the wrong way, not knowing when they were allowed on a footpath and when they weren't.
The moment it became personal was when I realised it could just as easily be my own kids in those situations. Not because they're reckless — but because nobody had ever taught them the rules. A 14-year-old on an eBike is sharing a road with traffic, but they've never sat a licence test, never read a road rules handbook, never had any structured safety education for this specific vehicle.
That gap — between the number of young people riding eBikes and the availability of affordable, practical safety education — is what eBikeSafe was built to fill.
The problem with existing resources
When we looked at what was available for Australian eBike riders, most of it fell into one of three categories: generic national guides that ignored state differences, children's resources with no coverage of the rules that actually matter on public roads, or professional courses priced out of reach for most families.
Nothing covered all 8 states in one place, included the 2026 Queensland changes, or was priced accessibly enough that a parent could just buy it for their teenager without thinking twice. So we built it.
Who built it
eBikeSafe was designed and built by Grant Davies, a technology and web professional with more than 20 years of experience building digital products.
The course content was researched and written against the actual legislation — the Australian Road Rules, state transport authority road rules, and the EN 15194 EPAC standard that defines what a legal eBike is in Australia. Where states diverge from the national standard, those differences are covered explicitly.
This isn't a course written by a committee or outsourced to a content farm. It was written by someone who lives in the same communities as the riders it's aimed at, with the same concerns any parent has, and enough technical background to build something that works properly.
How the content is maintained
Australian eBike law is changing. Queensland's 2026 rule changes — a 12 km/h footpath cap with fines up to $1,986 in force since 1 July, and learner-licence and under-16 rules from 31 August — are the most significant nationally, but they won't be the last. NSW has flagged a minimum age requirement. Other states are watching Queensland closely.
Course content is updated when legislation changes — not on a marketing calendar. The state-by-state regulations comparison is maintained separately as a free public resource, updated independently of the course, so anyone can check the current rules without paying.
What the course is — and isn't
State-specific
All 8 states and territories. Where the rules differ — and they do — that's covered explicitly.
Legislation-based
Written against the Australian Road Rules, state transport authority rules, and EN 15194. Not opinion — the actual law.
Affordable
$49 flat. No subscription, no modules locked behind upsells. One purchase, full access.
Not a government course
eBikeSafe is an independent course. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any state or federal government body.
Not a legal substitute
This course is educational — it doesn't replace a Queensland learner licence or satisfy any regulatory mandatory training requirement where one exists.
