Presumptive Mayor Zohran Mamdani is joining the war against e-bikes ... on the side of the e-bikes.
"Much this conversation around e-bikes and e-vehicles focuses on individual actions and infractions," Mamdani said.
"They want to influence labor and street safety regulations because their algorithm for all of their delivery workers is one that pushes those workers to make as many deliveries as possible in a finite period of time," Mamdani said.
"It is an algorithm that rewards the breaking of street safety regulations and one that hurts drivers, riders who actually follow the law, which would then take them more time.
Mamdani also pointed to street design as a way to ensure that people feel safe on the streets, no matter what their mode of transportation.
