Cease-And-Desist Order Issued Against Beloved Local Business: CT News
The city warned 42 online sellers they face fines of up to $2,000 per illegal sale as officials cite rising rider deaths.
- On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued cease-and-desist orders to Amazon, Best Buy, and 40 other online retailers for selling what his administration classifies as illegal high-speed e-bikes and scooters.
- The death last week of Gabriel Nacato, 17, while riding an illegal e-bike capable of 30 mph prompted the crackdown, as the device exceeded the legal limit for such vehicles.
- Under Mamdani's order, retailers face up to $2,000 per sale for prohibited devices, including e-bikes with motors larger than 750 watts, stand-up scooters exceeding 20 mph, and seated mopeds lacking identification numbers.
- New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin announced Tuesday that Council will consider 17 bills covering vehicle safety and data reporting, as city leaders jockey to create a model for regulating micromobility devices.
- Critics like Andrew Fine of the E-Vehicle Safety Alliance argue the plan lacks necessary enforcement, while 80,000 delivery workers who depend on these vehicles for their livelihood face uncertain future regulations.
