Mayor Eric Adams announced a proposal for implementing a 15 mph speed limit for e-bikes in New York City, aimed at improving street safety. Currently, e-bikes can travel up to 20-25 mph, prompting concerns from residents about recklessness, especially regarding children’s safety. The proposal aligns with speed regulations in other regions, like the European Union. This initiative is part of a broader effort, coinciding with the NYPD's Quality of Life Division, to address reckless e-bike operation and enhance overall traffic safety.
Out-of-control scooters and e-bikes is something we're hearing a lot, Tisch told amNewYork in April.
I have heard, over and over again, from New Yorkers about how their safety and the safety of their children have been put at risk due to speeding e-bikes.
