New York lawmakers are pushing for legislation aimed at prohibiting the sale of high-speed electric motorcycles, often referred to as e-motos, which are frequently used in illegal street racing. The proposed ban targets vehicles that exceed legal speed limits and lack proper safety certifications, raising concerns over public safety and road hazards. Authorities highlight the growing trend of these unregulated vehicles being sold online and distributed across the state, despite their association with dangerous racing activities. The measure seeks to address both the safety risks and the regulatory gaps currently allowing their unchecked circulation.
