Hmmmm:

From 1 March 2029, only e-bikes meeting the European standard will be road legal in NSW, with the three-year period reflecting the typical lifespan of an e-bike, providing those who purchased an e-bike legally- and those who sell them- time to adjust to the new rules. 

I dunno what these people are doing to get only 3 years out of a bike.

I've been riding my converted malvern star for 6 years. Still on the original battery even

Yeah I've had mine for at least 3 years, riding several times a week, and it's still going strong. Not expecting to replace it any time soon.
