      Hey SJ,

      They're currently fully legalised in Queensland and ACT. NSW and other states are anticipated soon; many ride them anyway but are not yet officially legal in public spaces.

          As mentioned they’re not legal in NSW so you take your chances.

          We have some for the office (NSW) and our building is right next to one of the hotels the government are putting people in for 14day isolation, as well as the AFP headquarters. Heavy police presence out the front/side/back of the hotel and we come and go on our scooters, we get looks from them but they haven’t mentioned anything.

          Laws might not have kept up, but policing has. I've done 1000+km on my Xiaomi M365, mostly commuting from Brunswick to Melbourne (pre covid) via the bike paths and ridden past heaps of cops. They don't pay any attention to you. Just don't ride on the footpath where people are, exactly the same if you were on a bicycle.

            @Davo1111: The cops bet on the fact that regular people are scared of the court. But you can go and appeal it, or at least write in and ask for leniency. The OP said he had a clean record, never been fined for anything before. The cop was being a hardarse when he could've just given them a warning but instead chose to issue 4 (if I remember correctly) fines. And apparently the courts don't like it when they stack fines like that particularly when it's trivial.

            Someone also mentioned a section 10 which is that the court can find you guilty but will not record a conviction, so no penalty no loss of license but I don't know if the offences old mate made were actually criminal.

            I AM NOT A LAWYER, JUST A PERSON ON THE INTERNET. I too wish NSW were not such a nanny state.

            • [Deactivated] on 09/06/2020 - 18:26

              @ippy: Section 10 would be likely course of action if OPs story was true (ie no prior convictions, not someone who actively breaks laws).

              I'm unsure about the 4 fines - I've heard of police issuing multiple fines in this way though I've not seen many court records on it. The fine is already in the thousands as is without consideration to if they have a license or not. It's obviously not intended to stack.

                The review criteria is pretty strict. You can google it. They don't just grant "leniency". You need to go to court for that.

          I'd say most laws say you're meant to stay off the road anyway. A quick look at the QLD laws shows you can ride them on "local roads" (50km/h or less) but not main or CBD roads, other times you're meant to be on the footpath.

        Varies greatly. Brisbane is notoriously hilly and I almost exclusively have it set to sport mode which affects things greatly. If I'm just out for a joyride at my nearby park with constant stop/starts and hills all on sport then I would say roughly 20ks. At my last house I had almost direct access to the inner city bikeway, so using that on standard mode I would be pushing 30+ kilometres.

            @Manusdei: I've had mine since Feb last year and the only issue I've faced was a cable for the rear lights disconnecting itself inside which was fixed by the retailer. While doing that they also swapped out the control board which in earlier models had been known to burn out. My understanding is this issue has well and truly been resolved in later models.

            Compared to what's on the market for a lot more money these are relatively basic, but it's done me well for over a year now.

              @tasty-falafel: disadvatnages when using solid tyres is that there will be more vibration and shock, as such the es1-4 scooters tend have their bolts loosen overtime. i hear using some threadlockers will fix this issue.

    Not sure why these are considered different to a bike in terms of legality of use? They go about the same speed and take up the same or less space, and would help to ease traffic congestion. Would be very simple to just implement the same rules for scooters as for bikes, or am I missing something?

      It's just outdated legislature relating to powered vehicles. Anything over 200W is deemed a motor vehicle thus needs to be registered.

      • billy_bob on 09/06/2020 - 15:30

        Yes very outdated. A human riding a push bike can easily generate over 200W and travel at 50-60km/h (race bike and race rider), so why is that not considered a powered vehicle?

        • mctubster on 09/06/2020 - 15:46
          +5

          A very fit human can generate over 200W for an extended period of time, but I would say 99% of cyclists are not that fit ;)

          The scary thing for me (daily cyclist for 30+ years) are people not used to cycling riding an e-bike travelling over say 30km/h … the cars are not expecting them to go that fast, not to mention most of these e-bikes don't have great brakes or tyres.

          At least if you are human powered and are 30km/h + you have spent some time cycling and more likely to appreciate the dangers of going faster than most people expect … eg I had a spectacular accident when 20yo down on aero bars in a built up area … I'll say no more other than I was fine, my bike was not :)

            +4

            @mctubster: I dunno about that. One thing no one seems to realise about ebikes is that the main benefit is getting into motion fast, not moving fast, and getting up hills. The need for leg power makes them feel just like a regular bike once in motion, including speed adjustment and control.

            It makes a lot of sense to use e-bikes in urban environments with a lot of stopping and starting, and might be even safer because the rider doesn't need to push off before gaining stability. This also reduces any need to maintain momentum, eg no need to build speed when going down a dip because the uphill won't be a struggle.

            I've been riding an ebike in Tokyo for the last 2 years, which means frequently weaving through crowded footpaths and traffic, and it feels much safer than my regular bike. It's easier to maintain and transition between stopping, crawling and swift speeds, so I can more easily move with people/cars when needed, and get away from them as soon as a gap opens up.

            And I hadn't ridden a bike in about 20 years before this, and still wouldn't ride around Sydney because the distances have conditioned everyone to treat cycling like long distance racing, and not simply commuting. Hence racebikes, spandex, work showers, and the assumption that everyone will go as fast as possible on an ebike.
            In summer I arrive at work less sweaty after using the bike, than if I got the train. On the way home I take a slow leisurely ride, powering just for the hills.

  • kenbehrens on 09/06/2020 - 15:24

    had one before they were legalised in ACT and I used to go past the AFP headquarters building everyday without issues. I guess common sense applies but definitely not worth risking a fine. I still ride this to and from work to the car which is parked a few kms away to get free parking. The scooter has paid for itself within a few months in the parking money I have saved to this date.

      The M365 is pretty much the direct competitor to the ES2, and funnily enough they're the same damn company. I prefer the Segway, especially for the fact you can upgrade to the ES4 easily which is a huge lift.

          ES = segway model numbers. The earliest version of this range was the ES1, this deal is for the ES2 and when you add one of these you increase the overall power and capacity and it becomes an ES4.

          I will add though that the Xi has two big advantages of the Segway - rear disc brakes and under-deck battery vs front e-brake and battery in the neck.

              @Gavman: I haven't had a good look but haven't seen ES4s listed under $800 which would make it cheaper than dropping the $500 on this and waiting to snipe a cheap battery.

              • Gavman on 09/06/2020 - 17:21

                @Hinee: sounds like anything under 850 for the es4 and its waste of time trying to source both separately.

    Segway Ninebot ES2 Review: Overview
    This Segway Ninebot ES2 review details one of the most prolific, yet most mediocre electric scooters on the market today. The ES2 is underpowered, short on range, and underpowered. The design and build quality are nice, but as an overall package, we don’t think it is a good value.

      So I'm guessing it's underpowered enough that mentioning it twice was necessary to drive the point home :P

      For RRP sure, but you won't get a better scooter than this for $500. Plus down the track if you do find it needing more grunt, add one of these and you significantly up the torque.

    Any M365 or Ninebot Max deals OP? Even in-store?

    Very sad these aren't legal to ride in NSW. If the state needs more revenue, which I believe they do right now you will likely to be fined 😂

    I have the Max in Victoria, haven't been questioned by police for using it, so much fun. This price is very good however outside of this deal I would recommend getting the Max over the ES range.

      There was a article on the age website today with a city councillor holding his electric scooter. Article was about the financial impact of covid, that was just the photo they picked for it.

      Fairly certain most cops wouldn't actually know they're illegal, definitely no one cracking down on them.
