A growing trend of high-speed motorized two-wheelers is raising concerns among regulators and safety advocates, prompting a stern warning from the New York Attorney General's office. These vehicles, often marketed as e-bikes, are being sold to unsuspecting consumers without proper safety features or licensing requirements. The Attorney General has issued a consumer alert, urging people to be cautious when purchasing these vehicles, which can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. As cities continue to grapple with the rise of e-bikes and other micromobility options, the distinction between legitimate e-bikes and high-speed motorized two-wheelers has become increasingly important for public safety.
