Hi All
Does anyone have some feedback to contribute on the 2019 exam?
I noticed the Nireeka E-bike states ‘ You can cruise smoothly through your neighbourhood at up to 32 km/h and with a range of 80km on a single charge’.

I have an electric bicycle and it is governed by federal law to stop providing power after 25km/h. After that the power from the bike cuts out.

The bike in the exam therefore, is not street legal in Australia. I don’t think we should be adding information about new technologies in our exams that include products which are illegal in Australia.

Otherwise I don’t think there was too many surprises and my boys were reasonably happy with the content.

Thoughts?
