NYC's e-bike classification rules can be confusing — especially when online retailers (and the media 👀) describe anything with two wheels and a motor as an e-bike Sophia Lebowitz explains why it's so easy to think you're buying an e-bike when you've really been sold an illegal e-moto

We've been cracking down on Surrons and e-bikes modified to exceed the 15.5mph speed limit for e-bikes. If you own an electric bike, know the law - if you're caught with a de-restricted bike, you could face fines, points on your licence, and even seizure of your bike.

Rivian's micromobility startup, RideAlso just launched their first product: an e-bike. But it's not really an e-bike. It's a vehicle—that feels like an electric car. I know that sounds weird. It is. Trust me. Full video coming in the next few days.

Parents, electric dirt bikes are NOT e-bikes. Walton County Sheriff's Office, Florida is seeing an increase in electric dirt bikes, also called “e-motos”, being ridden in neighborhoods and on public roads. Monday, six of these electric dirt bikes were impounded and citations were issued to juveniles 11-14 years old. Many Do NOT have pedals, have high-powered motors, and are designed only for off-road use. Under Florida law, these vehicles are NOT street legal. It’s illegal to ride electric dirt bikes or "e-motos" on public roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks in Walton County. Driving an unregistered, electric dirt bike on a public road can lead to citations, fines, impoundment, and a mandatory court date. Parents are responsible for making sure e-motos are used legally and safely. Even if it was a gift for Christmas and thought to be an e-bike, many of these are electric dirt bikes and the rules of the road are different. Allowing a child to ride an e-moto on streets or sidewalks puts them and everyone around them at serious risk. E-Bike vs. Electric Dirt Bike or E-Moto ✅ E-Bike: • Has pedals with electric assist • Designed for roads, bike paths, and shared spaces • Typically, lower speeds and requires less protective gear • Less than 750 watts • Can travel 28 mph or less depending on class of bike • Classified as a bicycle 🚫 Electric Dirt Bike / E-Moto: • All throttle • Higher power and higher speeds • Built for off-road terrain only • Requires full protective gear • 750 watts or more • Can travel up to 70 mph • Classified as a motor vehicle ➡️ NOT legal on streets or sidewalks Our goal is education and safety. Not enforcement after something goes horribly wrong and ends in a tragedy. When these e-motos are operated illegally on public roads and sidewalks, enforcement action will be taken. We're here if you need us.

This is footage of an e-bike exploding at a home in Catford. It's just one of 556 e-bike fires in the last three years in London. The infernos are toxic, spread within seconds and are almost impossible to put out. And they've killed half a dozen Londoners since 2023.
