The Village Sun: Assemblywoman Rajkumar Takes the Lead on Regulating E-Bikes

“I authorized this commonsense legislative package to address the reckless use of e-bikes, one of the biggest issues at the top of New Yorker’s minds,” said [Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar], “Last year we witnessed a record number of deaths from e-bike riders disregarding traffic laws and using dangerous, reconditioned batteries. My package honors the memory of Priscilla Loke and all the victims of e-bike collisions and fires by providing the same requirements for e-bikes as other motorized vehicles: license plates, insurance and inspection.”
