Governor Cuomo Announces Legislation for E-Bike and Scooter Safety Measures


The Office of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo: Governor Andrew Cuomo today announced legislation in the FY 2021 Executive Budget to establish comprehensive safety measures for the use of lower speed motorized bicycles, or e-bikes, and scooters and to give local governments the right to set additional regulations. This legislation addresses the concern that e-bike and scooter users, primarily delivery drivers, have been subject to unfair restrictions on these bicycles, while ensuring strong statewide measures for the safety of riders, pedestrians and drivers.
