    My lowly non-NYCer opinion is that that sounds like a reason to crack down on sidewalk riding, rather than the speed.

        For the reasons I outlined in my previous comment: forcing NYC e-bikes to be governed to a different speed than e-bikes everywhere else in the country (thus requiring selling a separate NYC-specific model) would be bad for e-bike adoption.
