WA Police Crush Dozens of Illegal E‑Rideables in Ongoing Perth Crackdown

Schools will bar under‑16s from bringing e‑rideables this year, reinforcing a policing push against illegal high‑powered devices.

Overview

  • Officers have seized 36 devices across the Joondalup district, with unregistrable machines being sent to the crusher.
  • Twenty‑five juveniles aged 11 to 16 and four adults have been charged with traffic‑related offences linked to dangerous and antisocial riding.
  • A dedicated team backed by the Police Air Wing, drones and road policing motorcycles is conducting targeted patrols as inquiries continue.
  • No injuries have been reported, and police say unlawful e‑rideable use is being targeted beyond Joondalup across Western Australia.
  • Parents are being urged to check device legality after a 12‑year‑old was found on a machine capable of 80 km/h, and public schools will prohibit under‑16 riding and storage on campus this year.
