STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Starting next month, New York City will put a speed limit on electric bikes and scooters.

Mayor Eric Adams announced on Wednesday that the city would enforce a 15 MPH speed limit on e-bikes, e-scooters and pedal-assist commercial bicycles when riding on city streets.

Though the announcement didn’t specify how the rule will be enforced, according to the city, the speed limit will go into effect on Friday, Oct. 24.

“This new 15 miles-per-hour speed limit for e-bikes is about keeping New Yorkers safe while continuing to keep our city moving,” said Adams in a statement. “As more New Yorkers turn to e-bikes and e-scooters to get around our city, New Yorkers have asked us to set clear, consistent rules to address this issue and protect everyone.”
