""Most Dashers follow the rules of the road and do the right thing. However, we recognize community concerns about safe riding. In a city as dense and dynamic as New York, setting a lower speed limit for e-bikes is a smart and sensible step. That's why we are supportive of the city's new policy of a 15 mph speed limit for e-bikes," reads the company's blog post."
""The hypocrisy of [the app companies] is that they publicly always say that they do care, because they depend on goodwill and marketing themselves as responsible companies. But the reality is, this administration is ... only holding accountable the e-bike rider that is operating in a system that they cannot control," Ligia Guallpa, the executive"
DoorDash announced support for New York City's new 15 mph e-bike speed limit while declining to say whether it will adjust delivery algorithms to allow riders more time. Delivery workers who use e-bikes urge app companies to stop incentivizing speed over safety and seek stronger regulation of apps rather than punitive measures against riders. DoorDash also backs banning Class 3 25-mph e-bikes, calling them dangerous despite their popularity among couriers. Critics characterize the stance as hypocritical because platforms treat workers as independent contractors, prioritize rapid deliveries, and leave enforcement and ticket costs to riders.
