Mr. Adams called for a 15 m.p.h. speed restriction for electric bicycles and scooters in New York City, even as other vehicles will be allowed to drive faster. Critics say it’s dangerous.

In an effort to improve street safety and reduce accidents, NYC has capped the speed limit of e-bikes and e-scooters at 15 miles-per-hour.

In a bid to increase public safety, Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday announced his intention to implement a speed limit on e-bikes in New York City. The decision follows a recent reported crackdown on bike riders across the five boroughs.
