A man has been charged over alleged e-bike hooning in inner Melbourne earlier this year.

Police claimed about 100 youths were riding dirt bikes, bicycles, and e-bikes on Lakeside Drive, Albert Park, on February 8.

Just before 4pm, police received multiple calls claiming the group was disrupting traffic and blocking both lanes across Ross Gregory Drive.

One rider allegedly performed a burnout, leaving the wheel of his dirt bike wedged in chain bollards on the road.

Police said when two officers went to help, other riders surrounded them and verbally abused them.

Some riders allegedly used the wheels of their bikes to flick up rocks, hitting the police vehicle.

It will be alleged one rider on a modified e-bike used his back wheel to perform a stationary burnout against the back of the police vehicle, causing damage.

Following inquiries, police carried out a search warrant at a home on Camms Road, Cranbourne, at 6am on Tuesday, May 6.

They allegedly seized an amount of cannabis, cannabis seeds, electronic devices, and clothing.

A 21-year-old man was arrested and charged with unlicensed driving, using an unregistered motor vehicle, criminal damage, cultivating a narcotic plant, and possessing cannabis.

He was bailed to appear in court on July 25.

Modified e-bicycles and e-scooters can be classified as motorcycles, depending on their power; if it exceeds 200 watts, it is classified as a motorcycle.

It’s for this reason that riders are required to hold a valid licence and registration in accordance with the Road Safety Act before the e-bike or e-scooter can be ridden on the road.
