Is it safe to ride with a child on an e-bike?

It is, as long as you’re using the right equipment and following basic safety steps. The Zoomo 1 Family is built for stability, with wide tyres, strong hydraulic brakes, and a secure child seat that keeps your little one safe and comfortable.

Electric bikes also make it easier to ride smoothly, especially when starting or going uphill. That extra control matters when you’ve got a child on board.

What kind of child seat do you need?

The most important thing is to choose a child seat that’s secure, well-padded, and age-appropriate. For the Zoomo 1 Family, we’ve selected a rear-mounted seat designed for everyday use. It includes a 5-point harness, adjustable footrests, and a high back for added support.

Rear-mounted seats like this are ideal for families looking for comfort and safety without compromising the bike’s balance.

What age can kids ride on the back of an e-bike?

There’s no official minimum age for riding with a child on an e-bike in most parts of Australia, but safety experts recommend waiting until your child is at least 12 months old. That’s usually when they can sit upright on their own and wear a helmet comfortably.

At Zoomo, we follow this guideline as a safe starting point. If your child can sit without support and keep a helmet on securely, they’re likely ready for short rides in a proper child seat.

Before heading out, make sure your e-bike setup follows local safety rules. And always double-check your child’s seat and helmet before every ride.

What laws apply in Australia for kids on bikes?

Laws vary by state and territory, but here are some general rules and guidelines you should know:

  • All riders and passengers must wear an approved bicycle helmet.
  • Children must be seated in a proper child seat that is securely mounted and designed for carrying passengers.
  • The bike must be built or adapted to carry a passenger safely.
  • Local road authorities (e.g. VicRoads in Victoria) may have additional rules about where and how children can be carried.

For more detail, you can check official sources like VicRoads, Bicycle Road Rules or transport authorities in your state.
