Essentially a soft ban of many e-bikes since they are difficult to distinguish from so-called "e-mopeds". The only good thing is that compliance will likely be low.

Ah, super. Im Namen der "Sicherheit" wird es also auch bei E-Bikes verunmöglicht, eine eigene Reparatur durrchzuführen. Die Hersteller werden damit auch in diesem Bereich auch nach dem Verkauf vorschreiben können, was Du mit Deinem Eigentum machst.

Now the sobering part: the entire planet bought roughly 7,000 humanoid robots last year. Manhattan has more e-bikes than that. Hype is deafening, the market is a toddler — which is exactly when the real building gets done.

I don't know much about the business of organ donation. I think though, if I were in the game, I would somehow figure out a way to do promotions at gyms and fitness centers that involved giving away high powered e-bikes.

Totally agree that souped-up e-motos and scooters that travel at unsafe speeds should be banned. But, most of the crashes discussed in this article were people hit by cars.

I constantly see kids in town on e-scooters and e-bikes with no safety gear, and it terrifies me both for their own sake and for other people on the sidewalk. They feel akin to 4-wheelers in how they're dangerous methods of transportation that are just given to children.

It is surprising to me how many stories about the supposed dangers of e-bikes (or really, e-motos) are based on people in cars hitting cyclists
In comparison, there were 94 traffic fatalities, which includes 46 pedestrian fatalities in NYC thru July 1. Two of the instances cited in this article were deaths because riders of e-vehicles were hit by cars. Surely there is some regulating to be done of e-vehicles, but cars are the problem.

"While fatalities remain rare for e-bikes compared to mopeds, the consistent role of motor vehicle interactions in the most severe cases points to a systemic issue in roadway safety. These findings suggest that e-bikes are comparatively under regulated compared to mopeds."

Totes agree. "Injury counts for e-bikes increased significantly greater than moped injury counts and increasingly involved younger riders." (see article below)
