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 illegal sales [of e-bikes and e-scooters]. 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. (07:17–07:28)
