‘Ridiculous behaviour’: Modified eRideables out of control captured at 60km/hr
Further evidence has proved a growing concern of people altering personal e-scooters and other eRideables to go above the speed limit.
Jerko Ostoic from Main Roads shared a video with Oliver Peterson on Perth Live which was captured on the weekend.
Recorded on Warnbro Sound Avenue in Warnbro, a rider was caught driving at 60 kilometres per hour speeding along with a car.
Under law electric-powered vehicles have a maximum speed of up to 25 kilometres per hour and riders must be aged over 16.

Ostoic told Perth Live host Oliver Peterson that he was shocked to see the e-scooter on the road next to him keeping up with the car.
“He looked at the phone and he realised what was going on and quickly dropped the brakes and back onto the footpath,” he said.
“Ridiculous behavour, absolutely ridiculous,
“You can see the front handlebar. It’s actually vibrating from the speed. I was just lost for words.”
