Compliance & certifications
100% legal to ride. Certified to prove it.
Certificates and legal details below are in English. In short: our e-bikes are factory-built, certified by NSW Fair Trading, EN 15194 compliant, and legal to take on Sydney trains.
Renting an e-bike shouldn't come with legal worries. Every bike in our fleet is factory-built, certified by NSW Fair Trading under Lithium Bicycle Pty Ltd's own approvals, and already meets the European EN 15194 standard that NSW law is moving to.
Already built to the 2029 standard
In March 2026 the NSW Government reinstated the European safety standard EN 15194 as the legal definition of an e-bike. From 1 March 2029, only EN 15194 compliant e-bikes can be lawfully used on NSW roads and road-related areas.
Our fleet complies today – pedal-assist limited to 25 km/h, certified batteries and chargers, no throttle-only riding. Rent from us in 2026 and nothing changes for you in 2029.
- ✓ Pedal assist cuts out at 25 km/h – the NSW legal limit
- ✓ Factory-built – never DIY conversions or kit bikes
- ✓ Certified lithium batteries with approved chargers
- ✓ Helmet and hi-vis vest included with every rental
Our certificates – issued to Lithium Bicycle Pty Ltd
These aren't supplier brochures – they are Certificates of Approval issued directly to Lithium Bicycle Pty Ltd by NSW Fair Trading (Electrical & Gas Approvals), covering the e-bike itself and every battery capacity in our fleet. Ask to see the originals in store any time.

Can I take the e-bike on the train? Yes.
Factory-built e-bikes like ours are welcome on Sydney Trains, Sydney Metro and Intercity services, free of charge. From 1 November 2025 NSW banned DIY-converted e-bikes (regular bikes retrofitted with kit motors and batteries) from all train and metro services, with fines up to $1,100 – because home-made battery setups are a fire risk.
That ban does not apply to our bikes: every Lithium Bicycle is an original, factory-built e-bike with NSW Fair Trading approved batteries. Ride to the station, roll on board, keep going.
- ✓ Board the first or last carriage and use the multi-purpose areas
- ✓ Travel outside peak hours where you can
- ✓ Ferries carry bikes free at all times
- ✗ Buses don't take full-size bikes (folding bikes only)
