"E-scooters and personal mobility devices will need to be limited to 25km/h and e-bikes must comply with the European Standard EN15194. " - that's the one Barnaby "tweaked"

The only reason they don’t now is because EN15194 allows for software locking. We have hard evidence that will be abused. Now is the time to physically enforce it.
Realistically, it would be like Apple and USB-C. It can’t set the rules abroad, but it knows companies are cheap.
Use that soft power.

We recently made this video to cover those exact questions. It's presented from an American context (discusses some US regs), but I think you'd find it useful.
Anytime UL2849 is mentioned, you can essentially substitute EN15194 as a relatively equivalent standard.

WeRideAustralia is calling for fed govt to reinstate EN15194, the Euro standard adopted in 2012 ditched in 2021, result is imports not tracked or declared & no conformity to new standard. There was no consultation with the bicycle industry. It’s time feds re-adopted the global standards.

Test du Touroll S3 : le vélo électrique pliable fat bike à moins de 610 €
Tu cherches un vélo électrique pliable fat bike, certifié EN15194, avec des pneus larges tout-terrain, un éclairage StVZO homologué et un porte-bagages — et tu ne veux pas dépenser plus de 610 € ? Le Touroll S3 coche toutes ces cases à la fois, et c'est précisément ce qui m'a poussé à le tester. Soyons clairs d'entrée : le S3 est un vélo d'entrée de gamme. Son moteur est modeste (450 W en crête), son autonomie réelle tourne autour de 50 à 55 km, son capteur est un capteur de cadence basique, et ses freins sont mécaniques. Mais à ce prix-là, il fait des

Europäische Regeln, keine deutschen. Im Umkehrschluss haben die meisten Staaten weltweit die EU Regeln ünernomnen und erkennen auch EU Normen (EN15194) an, solche Räder sind also auch in Australien und in vielen anderen Ländern legal und unkompliziert nutzbar.

That seems like a fair thing to put back.
A legal-to-import eBike (or eScooter) is: European EN15194
continuous rated power of no more than 250 watts
maximum pedal-assisted speed of 25km/h
maximum speed of 6km/h when using only a throttle
I could come at that.
