VOLTAGE Kai Miller is fifteen years old Sydney teenager, riding a converted e-bike he built himself, and without knowing it, he is about to become the face of the Sydney e-bike community and help improve e-bike laws for all.
Every Saturday afternoon, Kai leads fifty riders through Sydney's streets - They're not a gang. They're not racing. They're just kids who want to ride without getting hassled by police.
But the cops don't see it that way. When a massive police sweep impounds dozens of bikes and issues thousands of dollars in fines, Kai's viral video catches the attention of a transport lawyer, a progressive MP, and half a million viewers. Suddenly, this Year 10 student from Newtown High isn't just leading Saturday night rides-he's leading a movement.
With his crew-Tyler on his beast of a Surron, Sarah filming everything on her custom Talaria, and Zane on his trusty conversion kit-Kai takes on the New South Wales government. They launch petitions, organise protests, and testify before parliamentary inquiries. All while Kai tries to pass Year 11, deal with his worried mum, and navigate the drama of a community that's growing faster than he can control.
When corporate sponsors come calling with big money, the crew fractures. When the government tries to roll back the reforms they fought for, Kai has to decide how much he's willing to sacrifice. And when an MP proposes building dedicated e-bike facilities across Sydney, Kai realises changing the law was just the beginning.
From illegal street rides to government-funded e-bike parks. From 5,000 YouTube subscribers to 750,000. From a fifteen-year-old kid with a dream to a nineteen-year-old who actually changed his city.
VOLTAGE is the story of youth activism, electric bikes, and the power of community. It's about building something that matters, even when the whole system is stacked against you. It's about friendship, freedom, and what happens when a generation refuses to accept the status quo.
Perfect for fans of street culture, youth activism stories, and anyone who's ever fought for the right to just... ride.
Based on the real e-bike riding culture in Sydney.
