Gov. Kathy Hochul recently signed legislation aimed at raising awareness of e-bike safety. Key changes include mopeds needing registration, and improved tracking of collisions.
Priscilla's Law, which would mandate e-bike registration and license plates, faces opposition from groups like Transportation Alternatives, causing legislative stasis.
Holden argues that licensing e-bikes would ensure accountability in accidents, stating that without license plates, identifying riders post-incident becomes a significant challenge.
The failure to advance Priscilla's Law reflects deeper tensions between public safety advocates and groups focused on promoting cycling and reducing motor vehicle dependency.
