澳大利亚拟出台电动自行车国家安全标准以应对伤亡激增

澳大利亚联邦政府本月宣布计划制定电动自行车和电动滑板车的国家安全标准，以应对过去五年因进口超标电动自行车导致的伤亡激增问题 1。根据计划，电动自行车的国家安全标准将率先推出，电动滑板车标准随后推出 1。

过去五年，超标电动自行车合法进口至澳大利亚 1。2021年，澳大利亚政府将电动自行车从道路车辆定义中移除，导致超标车辆以“私人财产使用”名义大量涌入 1。2016至2020年间，7人死于电动自行车碰撞事故，另有7人死于电动滑板车等微型电动交通工具事故 1。2025年，昆士兰州和新南威尔士州共有8人死于电动自行车事故 1。

合规助力电动自行车电机功率上限为250瓦，电动助力最高时速25公里 1。新标准必须明确区分合规助力自行车与超标改装车辆 1。同时，需对电池、充电器、改装套件和在线销售平台进行严格监管 1。

The Australian federal government has announced plans this month to develop national safety standards for electric bicycles and e-scooters to address the surge in casualties caused by the legal importation of non-compliant e-bikes over the past five years 1. This regulatory push follows a 2021 government decision to remove e-bikes from the definition of road vehicles, which inadvertently allowed substandard models to flood the market under the guise of private property use 1. The e-bike standards will be introduced first, with e-scooter regulations to follow subsequently 1.

Between 2016 and 2020, seven people died in e-bike collisions, and another seven lost their lives in accidents involving e-scooters and other similar micro-mobility transport 1. More recently, eight people died in e-bike accidents across Queensland and New South Wales in 2025 1. Currently, compliant power-assisted e-bikes are restricted to a maximum motor power of 250 watts and a top assisted speed of 25 kilometers per hour 1. There are calls for the new standards to clearly distinguish between compliant power-assisted bicycles and non-compliant modified vehicles, alongside strict regulation of batteries, chargers, modification kits, and online sales platforms 1.
