I believe something like this is technically the law here as well. But it goes completely unenforced.

- dghlsakjg 4y agoThe NYPD does pretty regular publicity about taking these off the road. Which would be fine if they did anything at all about protecting vulnerable users from motor vehicles. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2021/11/29/nypd-seizes-illegal-mopeds-then-disseminates-misinformation-lies-and-anti-cycling-propaganda/ https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2021/11/29/nypd-seizes-illegal-m... https://cleantechnica.com/2022/06/01/when-seconds-count-nypd-is-busy-harassing-e-bike-owners/ https://cleantechnica.com/2022/06/01/when-seconds-count-nypd... https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/the-nypds-new-efforts-to-police-e-bikes-and-e-scooters/3647468/ https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/the-nypds-new-efforts-to-pol...
- bradleyjg 4y agoI’m looking out my window and see two. I stand by the claim that it’s basically unenforced.
- dghlsakjg 4y agoHow can you tell that they’re over the legal limit?
- bradleyjg 4y agoThey look nothing like bicycles. Closer to a motorcycle or moped. If they count as e-bikes the definition is a bad one.
- dghlsakjg 4y agoThey may be mopeds. Pretty broad definitions of what is legal in NYC. https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bicyclists/ebikes.shtml https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bicyclists/ebikes.shtml Is it possible that you just don’t like what is defined as legal?
- bradleyjg 4y agoAccording to that link (thanks) it looks like mopeds require license plates and can’t drive in bike lanes. So what I’m seeing out my window is illegal.
