A devastating crash in lower Manhattan has left a 17-year-old boy dead after his e-bike collided with an SUV. The fatal accident highlights the growing concerns about the safety of e-bikes on city streets, particularly those operated by teenagers. The victim, a high school student, was riding an e-bike that was reportedly not registered with the city, which is a requirement for all e-bikes in New York.
