In Midtown Manhattan, advocates rallied for e-bike safety, urging support for Priscilla's Law, which mandates registration and licensing of e-bikes by the NYS DMV. Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar led the charge, criticizing reckless e-bike driving while other supporters included the NYC E-Vehicle Safety Alliance. Priscilla's Law, named after an individual killed by an e-bike, aims to enhance accountability and public safety as advocates express concerns over escalating e-bike-related incidents outpacing existing regulations.
Rajkumar highlighted the urgency of Priscilla's Law, stating, 'When we pass my game-changing bill, and every e-bike bears a license plate, we will usher in a new era free of e-bikes blasting through red lights...'
The backdrop of the rally was the increasing tension between the growing use of e-bikes and public safety concerns, with advocates urging lawmakers to act before more tragedies occur.
