A proposed bill in New York aimed at regulating e-bikes and other electric vehicles was halted by the Assembly Transportation Committee. Named the "Responsible Implementation of E-bike Regulations for Safe Cycling," the legislation would have enforced registration and imposed age restrictions. While the bill was initially included in Governor Hochul's budget, it faced significant pushback and was ultimately set aside for now. However, its potential return has raised concerns among e-bike advocates and reflects continuing tension over urban cycling safety.
This bill aimed to regulate e-bikes and similar devices by requiring registration and age restrictions to enhance safety, but it was voted down in committee.
Governor Hochul has previously backed similar e-bike regulation efforts, indicating this issue could resurface in future legislative sessions.
