Losing your driver’s licence can be stressful, particularly if you rely on driving for work or personal responsibilities. Many people wonder whether they can continue to ride a motorbike, e-bike, or scooter after a licence suspension in Victoria.
The Law in Victoria

What About E-Bikes and Scooters?
Victoria has specific rules around e-bikes and scooters:
Consequences of Riding While Suspended
If you are caught riding a motorbike, e-bike, or scooter that qualifies as a motor vehicle while suspended, you may face further penalties, including additional suspension periods, fines, and possible imprisonment.
Why Legal Advice Matters
Licence suspensions affect more than just car driving—they impact all motor vehicles under the law. Before making assumptions, it’s vital to know where you stand legally.
