维多利亚州禁止在12月21日的火车上修改电子自行车的消防风险禁令,罚款最高达500美元。 Victoria bans modified e-bikes on trains Dec. 21 over fire risks, with fines up to $500.

从12月21日起, 维多利亚的火车将因火灾风险及安全事故而禁止使用经过改装的电子自行车, Modified e-bikes with aftermarket upgrades, especially those using non-compliant batteries, will be banned on Victoria’s trains from December 21 due to fire risks and safety incidents. 成年人面临超过500美元的罚款,未成年人受到较轻的处罚。 Adults face fines over $500, minors lesser penalties. 禁令的目标是在新南威尔士采取类似举措和锂离子电池火灾不断上升(维多利亚几乎每天一次)之后,改装不符合国际标准的低质量部件的自行车。 The ban targets modified bikes with low-quality components not meeting international standards, following a similar move in New South Wales and rising lithium-ion battery fires—nearly one per day in Victoria. 提高公众意识的运动和工作人员培训将支持执法工作。 Public awareness campaigns and staff training will support enforcement. 昆士兰州在死亡时就考虑登记制度,但维多利亚州在成本和使用问题上反对登记制度。 Queensland considers a registration system amid fatalities, but Victoria opposes it over cost and usage concerns. 在联邦一级,议员Sophie Scamps提出了国家电子自行车安全标准法案,包括速度限制和反干扰规则,因为各州在2021年将电子自行车从道路安全法中删除后,推动采取协调行动。 At the federal level, MP Sophie Scamps has introduced a bill for national e-bike safety standards, including speed limits and anti-tampering rules, as states push for coordinated action after e-bikes were removed from road safety laws in 2021.
