Mayor Adams's initiative to lower e-bike speed limits to 15 miles per hour is drawing criticism for potential uneven enforcement by police and legal uncertainties. Experts highlight that the enforcement strategy could lead to misunderstandings regarding motorized bikes, and current practices suggest that the NYPD may misuse authority. Despite these concerns, city officials are pushing for the legislation to tackle street chaos, emphasizing that biking plays a vital role in environmental efforts and urban mobility.
The police would be, at a minimum, confused and ignorant about what's a motorized bike and what's not.
Biking is a crucial tool to tackle the climate crisis and help New Yorkers get around the city.
