NYers say 15 mph e-bike speed limit falls short: ‘This will do nothing’

NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) – Mayor Eric Adams’ proposed speed limit for e-bikes and e-scooters is nothing but a political stunt, many speakers said at a public hearing Monday. 

Adams and the Department of Transportation in June proposed a 15 mph speed limit for e-bikes, which are currently capped at 25 miles per hour. At the same time, Citi Bike lowered the maximum speed of its e-bikes from 18 mph to 15 mph.
