Overview
- NSW Police were called to Long Reef Golf Club about 12:15pm Friday after reports of dozens of e‑bike riders, but the group had left before officers arrived and inquiries continue.
- Long Reef Golf Club said the course sustained some damage, after video posted by nearby Cromer Golf Club showed riders on the greens.
- Local outlets also shared footage of large packs riding through Northern Beaches streets, with another mass rideout filmed at Cronulla over the weekend.
- Opposition transport spokeswoman Natalie Ward described the groups as intimidating and is pushing for number plates for specific cohorts such as under‑18 riders to aid identification.
- The NSW government is considering insurance options for private e‑bikes after a parliamentary recommendation, following December moves to halve legal power limits after four e‑bike deaths in 2025.
