Can I add rental expense for an e-bike as a deduction?

I'm doing DoorDash during this financial year using an e-bike which I rented from typical e-bike shop as most of Dashers did. Now I'm about to lodge my tax return. However, I still wondering if I can add the rental expenses of the e-bike as a deduction? I'm not sure about whether or not the shop gave me invoices for every payment I made, but I believe that the rental amounts are still reflected in my bank account. Also, if I add the amount as I thought that it can be categorized as a deductible item while later turns out that it's not deductible, will there be any cost like fines/penalties for being wrongly adding non-deductible items?

I really need to be enlightened in this case...
