Forensic crash investigators are looking into the accident, and police are appealing to the public for any vision of the crash or its lead-up.
It is the second death involving e-mobility devices in the state after Queensland introduced tougher laws aimed at ensuring the safety of riders.
A 13-year-old boy died last month after he crashed on an e-scooter while not wearing a helmet.
The laws mean only people over 16 with valid drivers’ licences can ride the devices, and are the first of their kind in the country.
