Observing crowded bike racks across south-east #Queensland school yards, it is clear the humble #pushbike has been replaced by a sleek, swift successor — the #e-bike.
But with a growing number of young people being killed or injured in incidents involving #electric mobility devices, parents are being urged to ensure they know the rules before buying one.
Rod Camm, the chief executive of Queensland's Motor Trades Association, said he was concerned non-compliant e-bikes could make it off #Christmas wish lists and onto footpaths.
"I'm sure every young child that's six and above is going to want them, because all of their mates have got them," Mr Camm said.
"There will be lots of pressure on parents and I'm desperately worried about this."
Last month, police said officers were issuing fines, and, in some cases #seizing and #destroying #illegal #bikes.
But Mr Camm said all levels of government to "step up" and take action.
Last month, the country's transport ministers agreed to work towards a #regulatory #framework for e-mobility devices to "ensure safe and consistent supply and use of these devices in the #Australian market".
"Good, clear rules around e-bikes are critical to ensuring Australians are safe on the road and riding a compliant bike that isn't dangerously over-powered," Federal Transport Minister Catherine King said.
The Australian government said an update on that framework will be tabled at the first transport ministers' meeting early next year.
The Commonwealth will also reinstate a stricter national standard – the European EN-15194.
Under those standards, which are already in place in Queensland, compliant bikes must cut off the motor at 25 kilometres per hour, have a 250-watt limit on power, and must not be throttle assisted.
Many states and territories have no minimum age limit for riding a power-assisted pedal cycle or electrically power-assisted cycle, while others require riders to be at least 16 years old.
Anything outside of these parameters should only be driven on a private, rural property.
In Queensland, the state government is also holding a separate parliamentary inquiry into e-mobility devices, which will conclude next year.
The federal government said buyers should look out for the EN-15194 compliance sticker on an e-bike before purchasing it.
#Bicycle Queensland's chief executive Matthew Burke also called for measures that hold importers to account.
"Mandatory reporting would make sure the vehicles they are importing meet the standards and are legal e-bikes," he said.
"A lot of the product that is being sold is being sold by retailers or is available on the online platforms is only allowable for use on private property."
"I really haven’t seen too many cattle stations in Mooloolaba, Morningside or Miami."
Mr Burke said parents should also avoid buying #conversionkits, which are motors that can be fitted to pre-owned bikes.
“Many of those conversion kits are allowing kids to go 50 or 60 kilometres an hour under throttle,” Mr Burke said.
He said the safest way to ensure the purchase of a compliant e-bike this Christmas was to buy from local, reputable bike stores.
"Go to an actual bike shop where they are selling things you have to pedal," he said.
"A good retailer will be able to tell you exactly what is legal and what you should be looking for."
Samantha Willis has co-owned Electric Bikes Brisbane since 2013 and has watched e-bikes grow in popularity over the past decade.
"We've got people leaving school who decide they don't want to get a car, so an e-bike is a great way to get around because they can access bike paths," she said.
"The category has increased substantially since we started, and now there is this divide around what actually is an e-bike and what is a motorised machine."
Ms Willis said parents knowing the difference between a legal e-bike and a non-compliant motorbike would make for a safer Christmas.
"I think there is a huge amount of confusion around the word electric bike. At an absolute simple level, it is a bicycle, the motor doesn't work unless you pedal," she said.
"The term e-bike has been used generically, particularly as we're seeing more of the illegal ones hit the road creating angst amongst the public.
"It really is quite an easy distinction to make if you want to make the right choice."

Gift idea for #Christmas, the magnificent Zoom book by Istvan Banyai.
It’s very old but timeless. A wordless picture book that zooms out, from the details to the big picture.
A friend‘s child called it a ‘magic book’ and it really is, for both kids and adults. It’s a great way to learn about perspective and to remember to take a step back and reconsider the importance of things.
