E-bikes, scooters could soon be banned from trains in NSW, Victoria
Since the NSW government calls the Albanian Government to tighten import regulations, it “seriously thinks of prohibiting e-bikes in train and metro services after fires related to the battery.
On Wednesday, the vehicles went to social media to share the images of a poster at an NSW train station, believed that it was subjected to mistakes, and called on passengers not to bring e-bikes or e-SCOOTER to the ship.
Transportation Minister John Graham said that the state government is a temporary prohibition on e-mobilitis devices on trains, similar to what has already been implemented in London, which is satisfied with the federal government.
“Together with Victoria, NSW is looking for Commonwealth’s support to prevent imports of dangerous devices and to strengthen the rules around E-Bike and E-SCOOTERS to prevent the risk of lithium-ion battery fires,” he said.
Berine Due to the lack of weak production and battery safety standards abroad, both states have an increasing number of battery fire, including a train in Melbourne and a train station in Sydney.
“In NSW, we seriously think of options, including a temporary prohibition on trains until you are satisfied with the public security as our highest priority and as our highest priority.”
It seems that the ban will come into force in September.
On a train at the Union Railway Station in the east of Melbourne, a fire on an e-bike battery comes after triggering an emergency evacuation in the early this year.
Lithium ion batteries with power devices such as e-bikes, e-scooters and e-boards, have been accused of a significant number of home fire due to popularity increase in recent years.
The Victoria government calls out to comment on recommended train arrangements that will restrict the use of e-mobilites on trains, trams and buses.
Under the recommended changes, e-bikes and e-SCOOTERS will no longer be allowed in trains and coaches, only foldable e-SCOOTERS and e-bikes were allowed on trains and buses.
A advice on plans is open until August 18th.
Although traditional mobility scooters are allowed, other battery-powered mobility devices, such as e-poumsesboards and e-dubbins, will be banned from trains, trams, buses and coaches.
The Victoria government said that the proposed changes were in response to the prevalence of poor or modified devices, including irregular e-bike transformations that pose an increasing risk of fire.
E-bikes and other mobility devices have gained popularity among vehicles in recent years, but pose a developing policy risk for the government.
In May, the NSW government suggested for the first time to allow e-bikes on some streets and roads, and the devices occupied a legal area before.
It is estimated that approximately 1.3 million e-mobility devices, including e-bikes, are used in the state.
