Nice... But seriously would they bring me in or issue a fine?
That largely depends on how well you do in the R.A.T*

In NSW, your entitled to ride a power-assisted pedal cycle with the electric motor up to 200 watts and it does not need to be registered and you do not need a license. The idea is that the main source of propulsion is still your own pedal power.

I did not observe that any kind of internal combustion engine is allowed.
In simple language, anything with an internal combustion engine needs to be registered.
