Commercial e-bike operators could face huge fines under new laws proposed by the state government.

Transport Minister John Graham described the dumped bikes across Sydney as "an eyesore".

The reforms come as Transport for NSW data revealed 15 per cent of people had ridden an e-bike.

Transport for NSW data revealed that 15 per cent of people living in NSW have ridden a shared or rented e-bike, with 6 per cent riding at least once a month.

Really?

I spend at least forty minutes on the streets of Sydney on my way to/from train stations. I see one ridden about once a month.
