Recent data reveals that injuries linked to e-bikes have dramatically decreased, with pedestrian injuries down by nearly 50% and overall injuries by 26% in the early months of this year. These statistics challenge Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch's justification for implementing a crackdown on cyclists for minor infractions, revealing that e-bikes contribute minimally to overall traffic injuries. Despite this, Tisch continues to enforce stricter penalties, raising concerns about the implications for cyclists, particularly in immigrant communities affected by increased court summonses for trivial violations.
The drop in pedestrian injuries caused by e-bike riders was significant, with reports showing a nearly 50% reduction from January to April this year.
Stats indicate e-bikes represent a minuscule part of street injuries, challenging the rationale behind a crackdown initiated by Police Commissioner Tisch.
