The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

The big story of this week? The dueling efforts by City Council Speaker Julie Menin and Mayor Zohran Mamdani to regulate the growing e-bike and e-moto industry and its impact on NYC’s streets.

Yesterday, Mayor Mamdani took aim at the root of the issue: The online e-moto supply chain. Today, we have a look at ten of the 17 bills that Speaker Menin is considering as a part of her September 30 mega hearing about motorized two-wheelers.

Check that out at the link below — and see how these proposals compare to what’s going on in states across the country.
