New York State Senator Kristen Gonzalez introduced legislation to ban the sale of illegal high-speed electric vehicles known as e-motos, which are misrepresented as legal e-bikes or e-scooters but can exceed 20 mph and pose safety risks. The bill defines e-motos, restricts their sale and advertising, and aims to enhance consumer protection and street safety in New York.
