New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin and Transportation Committee Chair Shaun Abreu unveiled a push Tuesday to equip the NYPD and Department of Transportation with specialized devices capable of testing the speed and power of electric bikes and scooters. The proposed legislation would require the city to test the technology, which could help police identify illegally modified vehicles that exceed legal limits. The measure is expected to come up for a vote in the coming months.
