They are not E bikes. They have a throttle and don't need to be pedalled and have an electric motor so they are a motorcycle. They need to be regulated like a motorcycle. Kids need exercise. Buy them a bicycle.

E-bikes that don't need to be pedalled are regulated as mopeds in NSW and must be registered. Petrol & electrically powered bikes that don't meet the e-bike rules are illegal in NSW. E-bikes can only have a motor up to 200w, or 500w that fades out as you pedal up to a max of 25 km/h.
Food delivery E bikes can go up to 30mph. I’ve followed one doing just that. No safety helmet. They are motor cycles. Battery motorised driven.
It’s about time the law was changed.
