queensland transport website tells me any bicycle with a petrol or deisel combustion engine (regardless of size)cant be ridden on roads or in public places as it is illegal unless it complies with australian design rules.

qld law will allow ac/dc bikes up to 200w.
what i did was got on ebay & bought this sticker.
havent been pulled up yet but havent seen cops while riding either.
will have to wait & see i suppose.
I live on the gold coast.
Tried to upload the pic but wouldnt work.
It says pedal assist max 200w output stuck on the side of the motor.

I saw a cop Once on my mb, he laughed at me and waved me on, I think he was after trail bikers as i mostly use a disused railway track ( herritage trail )

Geoffmaree--Thought we were hard done by here in British Columbia.We at least get
500W but it can only be a hub motor since you can't run the motor through the bike gears.
Going to buy one put together by a local E-bike shop.They can sell me one cheaper than I can put one together myself.They cost $1250 CDN.500W/36V Canadian made frame.
We have some pretty impressive hills around us so they build it with that motor and voltage.
There is a chap on Vancouver Island who is building an E-bike but it will be a couple of months be for it is available.He wants to test the heck out of them first.
Like your sticker idea.My luck is that copper would be a retired electrical engineer.
