A group of nine New Yorkers injured in e-bike crashes filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s directive to ease enforcement of e-bike violations has effectively “legalized” dangerous riding and allowed lawlessness to spread on city streets, the NY Post reported Thursday.

The complaint, filed in Richmond County Supreme Court, argues that Mamdani’s March directive unlawfully prevents police from issuing criminal summonses to e-bike riders who run red lights, ride on sidewalks, or travel the wrong way on one-way streets.

“The lack of any actual safety policy, or even concern frankly, is the very definition of capricious decision making, as well as a stunning offense to public trust,” the lawsuit said.

Under Mamdani’s executive order, officers are limited to issuing civil tickets to unlicensed e-bike riders, who face no risk of arrest or license suspension if they ignore the citations.

The lawsuit contends that the policy has effectively “legalized” hazardous riding and transformed sidewalks and crosswalks into “zones of exclusion” for seniors and disabled residents who are unable to avoid e-bikes traveling at speeds of up to 25 mph.

The plaintiffs said they suffered serious injuries in e-bike crashes.

According to the complaint, plaintiff Bonnie Gerard, 83, was standing on an Upper East Side sidewalk when an e-bike jumped the curb and struck her, causing a concussion, a fractured kneecap, and leg injuries that continue to affect her ability to walk.

Another plaintiff, Harvey Goldberg, 75, was riding a Citi Bike on Second Avenue when an e-bike rider collided with him, knocking him unconscious and causing a fractured clavicle and long-term arm immobility that has interfered with his work as a physician.

Plaintiff Roberta Simon said she was walking on a pedestrian path in Central Park when an e-bike struck her from behind, leaving her unconscious and with several broken ribs.

She underwent brain surgery and spent several days in a coma and continues to suffer from dizziness and headaches.

The lawsuit seeks to overturn Mamdani’s policy and restore former Mayor Eric Adams’ criminal enforcement measures, which the plaintiffs say reduced e-bike crashes and fatalities by roughly 30 percent.

The plaintiffs also cited data from NYU Langone indicating that e-bike and scooter crashes now account for seven percent of all trauma admissions and that pedestrians struck by the devices sustain brain injuries at nearly twice the rate of riders.
