The death of an eight-year-old boy on Queensland's Sunshine Coast has prompted Premier David Crisafulli to promise to reform electric bike laws.

The boy died in a collision with another e-bike on a path at Mountain Creek about 3.30pm on Thursday.

The 15-year-old rider of the other electric bike was not seriously injured and he declined treatment from paramedics.

Both boys were wearing helmets.

The forensic crash unit is investigating and police are appealing for witnesses or drivers with dashcam footage to come forward.

Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the crash was an "absolute tragedy".

"We need to have a look at what changes can be made," he said.

"Nothing should be off the table — we have got to keep our kids safe."
