Zohran Mamdani: “Since 2020, E bikes capable of exceeding 25 mph and those…”

“This past May, our city witnessed yet another horrific crash when Francis Del Valle, who was riding an illegal electric scooter capable of speeds of up to 53mph, collided with Dmitry Sichenko, a cyclist on the Queensborough Bridge. Since 2020, E bikes capable of exceeding 25 mph and those with motors that exceed 750 watts have been outlawed here in New York City. We cannot and will not accept these dangerous vehicles on our city streets. And yet the companies that sell these vehicles continue to market them to New Yorkers who trust that the product they are purchasing is legal in the city that they call home.” (02:14–02:25)
