Mamdani is sued over e-bike policy as safety debate escalates

A lawsuit was filed against New York City and Mayor Mamdani over changes to e-bike regulations, alleging the policy softening increases public safety risks. Plaintiffs, including injured residents and advocate Walter Matuza, argue unregistered e-bikes and reduced enforcement correlate with rising fatalities and reckless driving. The case challenges Mamdani's suspension of criminal summonses for e-bike violations, previously enforced under the Adams administration.
