City Council Votes to Pass More E-Bike Safety Rules to Address Dangers of Fires Caused by Lithium-Ion Batteries
The New York City Council voted on Wednesday, Feb. 29, to pass new legislation that will increase e-bike regulations in the interest of improved safety. The new laws come after one person died and 22 were injured in a Harlem fire caused by an e-bike on Friday, Feb. 23. Council members said that over the past few years, as e-bikes, e-scooters, and powered mobility devices have become more prevalent, the City has experienced a rapid increase in lithium-ion battery-related fires in both residential and commercial properties that not only destroyed property but resulted in injuries and fatalities.
