Mayor's Office-**E-bike speed limit 15 mph as of Oct 24 25

This came shortly before outgoing Mayor Eric Adams announced he was withdrawing from the race. Alas. Well since he so far has refused to endorse "disgraced" former Governor Cuomo he won't become Ambassador to Saudi Arabia-another quid pro quo bone thrown out as an inducement by Trump Tower empressario Donald Trump. Well we pubic safety advocates look forward to seeing former Mayor Adams pedaling a public bike attempting to haul in rogue e-bikers to hand them a violation. How safe we will be********************Set a speed limit for e-bikes and e-scooters – Effective October 24, e-bikes and e-scooters will be prohibited from traveling faster than 15 MPH in New York City. By keeping our promise and implementing this rule, we’re enhancing public safety for all New Yorkers on our streets and mirroring best safety practices from around the world.**************

EVSA rally to protest Central Park takeover for E-bikes

To: NYC · Sun, Sep 28 at 11:12 AM Message Body HELLO EVSA SUPERSTARS! IT IS TIME TO RALLY! Please join us on.. Thursday Oct 9 at Noon outside 717 5th Ave (Entrance on E 55th street right around corner of 717 5th Ave). NYC PUBLIC Parks have been sold to Lyft/Citibike, bike lobby (Transportation Alternatives), delivery apps, big tech and big real estate. Yes-Central Park Conservancy, DOT, Mayor and half of our electeds have put money over safety and sold out to the lobbyists! This is why there is a dangerous and deadly redesign of Central Park's drives, which now prioritizes fast transportation of Citibike riders and delivery riders OVER pedestrians and runners with and without disabilities, and traditional cyclists and dogs. We see a huge increase in accidents since the redesign. The fact that red lights and Accessible Pedestrian Buttons (APS) have been removed and the drive itself has twice the room for cyclists than walkers and runners is reprehensible. What statistic can measure the decrease in our Quality of Life? None. WE know it and speak up about it! CPC's CEO Betsy Smith, the Mayor and half our electeds speak out against horse carraiges and how they should be replaced by e-carriages, but have NEVER spoken out against e-vehicles in Central Park! We ask ....WHY? CPC told us time and time again " We can't give an opinion on prohibiting anything from Central Park, but then they did. They lied. We ask...Why? (We know why) We must stand up and fight against the lies and hypocrisy and all the "dirty sell-out" money that is ruining Central Park, all NYC Parks, and fight for SAFETY, transparency, demand new CPC and DOT leadership and 0060-2024. PLEASE JOIN US ANE TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW! FLYERS COMING SOON! Thank you! Janet 💜

AUTOMATIC CUTOFF E-BIKE BATTERY CHARGER-AI

https://letrigo.com/blogs/news/ebike-battery-timer*** The link connects to a rundown of what and how an automatic cutoff e-bike battery chaeger works.Such a charger costs about $65.00. It does not come as a standard unit with most e-bikes. However the automatic cutoff could have prevented all the explosions and fiery inferno's that have devastated numerous New York City buildings and incinerated human lives. This seems like a no brainer to become mandatory. A bill in the City Council should have bi-partisan support. Perhaps the city can arrange bulk purchases to reduce cost. However if you can't afford a cutoff battery-you can't afford an e-bike.***https://letrigo.com/blogs/news/ebike-battery-timer

EVSA campaign against Bill 1138-Universal Daylight

This would clear 20 feet of parking from every corner of every intersection to allow better eyesight for e-bikes. It would hypothetically cut 3 billion from the parking revenue. DOT says it would be likely to cause more accidents. Several CM s have voted for it. The request was to ask them to vacate their vote. Many others had not yet voted. Request was to contact and ask them to oppose 1138. office of CM ERIC DINOWITZ of the Bronx replied and stated they opposed 1138 and would not sign. Transportation Alternatives in the mission statement said it was trying to drive the motorvehicle from the city. The delivery corps are driving for exploitation and profit at all costs. Former DOT Commissioner J Sadik Khan said "It's good for real estate" Mark Gorton-principle funder of TA is an ardent backer of Health Sec Robert F Kennedy Jr. Charles Komanoff was vociferous opponent of nuclear energy. Reversed course.Sophist in chief-wrong on nuclear energy- Wrong on Vision Zero. No environmental impact study. No enforcement. No concern for public safety-responsible bike culture. This is a version of Trumpian politics. Ego gratification at all costs.**************** Hello EVSA SUPERSTARS! We can stop this horrible Daylighting Bill 1138 from passing! We truly can! Transportation Alternatives (wealthy bike lobby that wants no regulation or safety protocols for e vehicles of any kind) lobbied TODAY at City Hall for their UNIVERSAL DAYLIGHTING BILL- 1138 which removes 20 feet of parking at every corner of every intersection in NYC so that "e bikers can see better" and creates the space for them to cut corners and plow into pedestrians. 26 of 51 ( exactly half) Council Members have signed! We must get some of them off of this bill and keep the rest from signing! ***************

Personal-Letter to former FDNY & current NYPD Commissioner Tisch **Cut off chargers for lithium ion e-bike batteries.

Commissioner Tisch-As the former head of the FDNY you are uniquely positioned to appreciate the value of regulating the chargers for the lithium-e-bike batteries. If regulated it prevents overheating and explosions. Fires & deaths-and FDNY grief. Please let me know how we can be helpful furthering this policy. In gratitude- Jack Brown Coalition Against Rogue Riding ***Cut off chargers cost about $65.00. Don't normally come with e-bike. If you can't afford a cut off charger-you can't afford an e-bike. Should be mandatory with point of sale. In addition to registration & license. Priscilla's Law. Anyone found to have caused damage from charging a non- cutoff charger should be liable for damages and possible jail time.

AMNY Solve the e-bike prob?Stop Selling Fast Ones

Council Member Chrystal Hudson has come up with the miracle cure for e-bike mayhem. Don't sell fast ones. Limit the speed to 20 miles per. Gee Crystal-why didn't someone else think of that? Is it because you're the head of the geriatric committee? Or is it that technology isn't really the answer? First-I sat behind a judge at an EVSA event. He said that Transportation Alternatives can walk into any Council Member office -give them $10,000 and get any bill passed it wants-Note the pronoun.Euphemistically call that undue influence. Second and most importatntly limiting speed doesn't mean that the rider will obey the law. A responsible bike culture and rational "visionaries" would have worked long and hard to establish a law abiding riding public. Not reckless indifference to public safety zealotry.Both creating an environment of ongoing jeopardy and screwing the NYPD. Try again Chrystal.****************https://www.amny.com/opinion/solve-e-bike-problem-stop-selling-fast-ones/

AM NY Queens E-bike slams opening Mercedes door.

An e-biker in Queens slammed into the opened door of a Mercedes. The biker was thrown to the pavement. Fatally struck. Traumatic head injuries. No mention of whether the biker was wearing a helmet. Let's face it-the reckless disregard of the city administrations starting with oligarch Michael Bloomberg to establish a responsible bike-micro transport culture has had numerous fatal repercussions. Countless injuries and too many close calls to count. Transportation Alternatives has wielded undue influence. Thwarting enforcement by the NYPD. Enforcement being the backbone of a public safety friendly bike culture. Simultaneously undermining the NYPD. How's that for hubris Advocates of zealotry rejoice.Mark Gorton-a fullthroated and deep pocketed backer of Robert Kennedy Jr. for President is a principle funder of TA. Charles Komanoff a notable narcissist and self promoter is the sophist in chief. A plethora of armtwisting and fake news by TA has compromised the elected public officials. The public has been taken for a ride. The quality of life bludgeoned. It can be rectified-but 25 years late. ***************https://www.amny.com/nyc-transit/queens-e-bike-collisions-citywide-09072025/
