Dumped e-bikes will no longer clutter Sydney’s entranceways and footpaths under laws being introduced to parliament on Wednesday, says the New South Wales government.

Local councils will get the power to decide where e-bike companies can operate in their area as well as to establish marked parking bays and go-slow and no-go areas.
