00:00Delivery riders have been caught up in a major e-bike blitz, with police flooding CBD streets
00:06and handing out hundreds of fines in a renewed crackdown on illegal and overpowered bikes.
00:14Victoria police officers issued 174 infringements to e-bike riders, with delivery workers a key
00:22focus as patrols swept through Melbourne streets on bicycles, motorcycles and highway vehicles.
00:30Police say many of the bikes being intercepted are effectively being treated as motorcycles
00:36under road law, meaning they require registration and a valid license if they exceed legal power
00:44and speed limits. Authorities carried out more than 160 breath tests and multiple drug tests
00:52during the blitz, with no alcohol or drug driving offences detected.
