There are renewed calls for e-bikes to require number plates after two separate incidents across Sydney involving teenagers colliding with cars while riding the electronic vehicles.
Two 16-year-olds were struck by a Mercedes-Benz on Birrell Street in Bondi yesterday while riding e-bikes.
The driver of the vehicle was uninjured and the pair escaped with only minor injuries before being taken to Sydney Children's Hospital.

The same day in Crows Nest, three 15-year-olds on an e-rideable bike were struck by a car.
The trio walked away with minor injuries.
The NSW government recently introduced new safety laws reducing the power and speed of e-bikes, however, NSW opposition transport spokeswoman Natalie Ward told the Sydney Morning Herald that more could be done to prevent safety incidents.
Ward believes that licence plates for specific groups, including people under 18, are a necessary step to minimise the number of e-bike crashes.

Others who could be targeted include those who use e-bikes for commercial purposes and commercial shared service schemes.
"For young riders, accountability can't just be a trip to the hospital emergency room," Ward told the Nine newspaper.
"The overwhelming community view is to take action on these unaccountable rider cohorts who need enforcement and behaviour change before it is too late."

The Liberal plan would also include new penalties for non-compliance, alongside educating young riders so that the risks associated with e-bike technology and how to use them safely are understood.
"I am hearing loud and clear that the community wants enforcement and accountability for e-bikes that prevent crashes, the opposition has a plan to deliver it, while the government tinkers," Ward said in a statement.
"This isn't complicated. If Labor don't like our solution, what is their plan?
"It's time for action and accountability, whether it is an e-bike rider or the transport minister."
