"Four people were fatally mowed down by e-bikes or e-scooters and at least 15 injured in 2025, an NYPD spokesperson told The Post."
"E-bike crashes in general surged by 21.5% from 330 in 2024 to 401 in 2025, according to data collected by the office of Councilman Frank Moreno."
"There are no accurate stats. Not even the cops know, said Janet Schroeder, co-founder of the NYC E-Vehicle Safety Alliance."
"The NYCEVSA is a group of 1,500 New Yorkers who disagree with Mamdani's vow to drop the penalty for minor traffic offenses from criminal to civil summonses for e-bikers."
E-bike incidents in NYC have escalated, with significant fatalities and injuries reported in recent years. In 2025, four pedestrians were killed, and 15 were injured by e-bikes. The Department of Transportation reported 16 e-bikers died in crashes that year. Despite a rise in e-bike crashes by 21.5%, the DOT downplays the threat to pedestrians. Critics argue that the lack of accurate statistics and accountability for reckless riders exacerbates the situation, especially as enforcement policies are set to relax.
