Northern Beaches Council is helping to ensure e-bike riders keep others safe by following the e-bike code. We have developed resources that can be used in your school’s communications to educate students on how to ride safely.
E-bike code
- Slow down to walking pace when others are on the path
- Ring your bell and call ‘on your right’ to let others know you’re approaching
- Be ready for sudden changes – people, pets and prams can be unpredictable

E-bikes are a popular way for students to get to and from school. They are a fun, environmentally friendly and easy way to get around the Beaches.
However, as e-bikes are fast and quiet, there is a real danger of colliding with other people using the footpath.
Before your child's next ride, make sure they know the e-bike code:
- Slow down to walking pace when others are on the path
- Ring your bell and call ‘on your right’ to let others know you’re approaching
- Be ready for sudden changes – people, pets and prams can be unpredictable
And remember the basics: helmet done up, bell, lights and a bike that’s legal.
