NYC Rules
rules.cityofnewyork.us
Every year, City agencies make over 100 changes or additions to the City rules that are an important part of how government interacts with the public. New Yorkers can review proposed rules and voice their opinions about those rules before they are adopted into law.

Today is a big day for the future of e-bikes in New York City. A hearing starts at 10 a.m. You can file a written comment until 5 p.m. You can also send an email to rules@dot.nyc.gov until 5 p.m

    though i agree with regulation, i am a 20mph limit guy; however i dont live in new york (and have never been). if 15mph suits the city, i see no problem with it.

    hopefully the mayor has taken a few days to ride around in an ebike to know what he is signing (though i highly doubt it)

      15 MPH does not suit the city. I was a daily cyclist in NYC for a long time and 15 MPH is generally the minimum speed you need to be going to keep safe in traffic. Capping a small motorized vehicle to 15 MPH while cars are zooming past at 30+ is not good.
