Letitia James: “I am proud that the Mayor of the City of New York is sending…”

“I understand that it can be hard for New Yorkers to know if a vehicle is illegal if they are able to buy it online. And that is why I am proud that the Mayor of the City of New York is sending cease and desist letters to [stop] these illegal sales. No one should have to fear for their lives when crossing the street. And I encourage New Yorkers to report those selling illegal e bikes and e scooters to my office at 1-800-771-7755.” (07:39–07:47)
