A proposed legislative measure seeks to ban high-speed electric motorcycles, known as e-motos, from New York’s roads, citing concerns over safety risks and their potential to exacerbate traffic hazards. Advocates argue these vehicles, capable of reaching speeds comparable to cars, pose dangers to riders and pedestrians due to their lightweight design and limited maneuverability. The bill would require stricter regulations or outright prohibition to address accidents involving these motorized devices, which have surged in popularity in recent years. Lawmakers and safety groups warn that without intervention, e-motos could contribute to a rise in injuries and fatalities on urban streets.
