"The Post took to the streets with a speed gun and found lots of e-bike users going way over 15 mph. Part of the problem, in the tabloid's eyes, is that the e-bike riders don't have license plates. The bigger issue is that there's just so many of them. In the paper's words, "it is unclear how violators will be clocked.""
"City Hall and NYPD did give some insight into how they're inaugurating the new speed limit: Mayor Adams said the "focus will be on education first and enforcement second." First-time violators will get warnings if they're caught going too fast, NYPD said. Expect to see public service announcements heralding the new speed limit on your phone and the city's LinkNYC kiosks."
New York City's 15 mph speed limit is now in effect, but enforcement mechanisms remain unclear. A New York Post speed-gun check found many e-bike riders exceeding 15 mph. E-bike riders often lack license plates and are numerous, complicating enforcement. City Hall and NYPD emphasize education first and enforcement second; Mayor Adams said the "focus will be on education first and enforcement second." NYPD will issue warnings to first-time violators. The city will run public service announcements on phones and LinkNYC kiosks. NYPD can confiscate bikes that exceed 25 mph, though the department has often allowed them to operate.
