A New York Democrat is pushing for new laws to address what she calls misleading sales tactics that have enabled e-motos and electric off-highway motorcycles to be marketed and sold in the state despite potential regulatory loopholes. The proposed legislation aims to close gaps that may have allowed these vehicles to bypass restrictions intended for traditional motorcycles and off-road bikes.

Supporters say the measure would bring greater transparency to how these vehicles are advertised and sold to consumers.
