Selective ticket targeting. Easier to ticket large vehicles than bikes. Vehicle owners also are more likely to pay tickets so time better spent on revenue gain. ❤
This will sound bad but if NYPD and the mayor cared about this issue, something would have been done long time ago. NYPD only go after tax payers and working citizens and vehicle with real license plates.
they do not have to stop at traffic lights, but it's not a great idea to whiz through an intersection where the light just turned. they can ride along the shoulder, take turns, and go up onto the sidewalk as they please as is safe. This claptrap of yours just proves you did not study the driving manual.
@@ThePoliticalBulldog Yes, Bikes are to follow all laws that autos do. Check the laws especially in New York. Legally they are supposed to stop at a red light as well.
I SEEN HUNDREDS OF E BIKES RIDING ON THE SIDEWALK NYPD DOESN'T DO NOTHING.BUT IF THEY CATCH YOU WITH A BEER IN YOUR HANDS ITS 25 DOLLARS TICKET.THEY SEE YOU WITH A BEER BUT NO BIKES.
The restaurant industry wants these e-bikes. They donated large amounts of money to these politicians to keep them. It's been a boon for these businesses as someone can order a meal fifty blocks away and have it delivered to their door. Thats way there has been no action to get these e-bikes off the streets no matter how people complain or how many people get injured or killed.
What will more than likely happen is some ordinance that will make you register your E-Bike , get a tag, maybe even insurance if the idiots that ignore lights and street signs & ride on sidewalks like school children would do when in the suburbs , if they keep acting in this manner I could see this happening in the near future. New York is just that type of city to pass an ordinance like that.
@@Malike420 New York wants fewer vehicles on their streets. That means more ebikes. Maybe NARROW the sidewalks as there are fewer pedestrians walking, and widen the bike lanes along the street.
@@rayrussell6258 I dont know if you live in NY but motorist are an inconvenience to everyone, they hold up traffic and break way more laws than 2 wheelers.
@fkyourfeelings2 ebikes are personal transportation, not commercial vehicles. They have very limited range, because the batteries don't go far. Mopeds go much farther on gasoline, and might be used commercially. Learn the difference please.
A moped is NOT an ebike, FOX5. Learn the difference, and don't mix up the two in this. As long as ebikers follow street laws, there is no reason for extra enforcement. Merely a larger existence of ebikes does not make it a crime to operate on the streets. In fact, it probably means there are fewer motorcars and mopeds on the same street. These people complaining need to focus on their own life improvement, not keep trying to interfere in/restrict the civil liberties of others.
@@stelity That's YOUR opinion. But, true facts are actually that bike riders are more safety conscious than anyone on the road, being that they are exposed more directly to autos around them moving much faster, and therefore follow rules MORE than others. Your problem sounds like it's with mopeds that can keep up with city traffic speeds, not bikes. Learn the difference please.
YAWN... New Yorkers. They heard you but they're not gonna do a damn thing. As usual, you're on your own. And god forbid, you take matters into your own hands
As a school bus driver for over 40 years!! This is the worst it’s ever been they are the most Dangerous out there and the regular bike s aren’t to much better
GET RID OF THEM. They're all over the place coming at you from all angles, on the streets, sidewalks, left,right, west, east, you name it. Even bike lanes that show an arrow in one direction, bikes zoom by in either direction, no buzzard, or bell warning. A total disgrace.
It’s so crazy the buses can flash they camera while u in the bus lane and ticket agent write u ticket as soon as u leave your car but the e-bike be riding on the side walk wrong way and the cops don’t do anything. This is really messed up.
there is no "wrong way" to going on a sidewalk! lol You show me ONE sidewalk where pedestrians all walk in the same direction, I'll eat my hat. Maybe the answer is to widen the bike lanes along the street, and NARROW the pedestrian sidewalk. Is that what you want? Because that's the best solution as fewer people walk and more ride ebikes.
I said over and over again enough with these e bikes, scooter or mopeds they are just like a motorcycle. We need to ban them in the NYC and tri-state areas as well and close down the business that sell and repair them for good.
Why don't they seal off a city block and paint "NO BIKES" directly on the street in giant letters, and station a dozen cops around the display to guard it at all times?
Not to mention the e-scooter/bikes have cause so many severe and even fatal fires in NYC. Their lithium ion batteries ignite violently. Many fires have taken place for FDNY. None of these rider use vehicles have registration,insurance,inspection and even sales tax that us other law abiding citizens have to pay for in order to keep a car/truck on the road. Completely dangerous and out of control. Good luck NYPD
There are many such quality of life issues like this one that’ve gotten much worse in the last year or so. No one is enforcing the rules and so it is like the Wild West.
Don’t understand why they against e-bike when most of us work on delivering food. they expect to be fast we must cut through not just wait like a car. They don’t understand that the road is dangerous cars don’t respect e-bike or bikes. how many people have die only on bikes I’ve of those bike painted in white of those whose lose their life no matter if they respect the traffic. People love to complaint when they don’t see the main issue a problem.
Ban the e-bikes. These guys not only ride their e-bikes like they are in a race but they also ride them on the sidewalk and never bother to let you know. Hellooooo...drivers and pedestrians are being forced into danger.
So with 3 years in how does that unfinished wall that Brandon stopped construction on , day 1 of his Executive Order signing make you feel. Do you still think you voted for the Best person for the Job or do you think the Previous President was doing a better job ? Back when gas was cheaper , food was cheaper, a Big mac didn't cost 5-14 dollars ( depending where you lived ). Hopefully you'll make a better choice in 2024. If you are one of the few that did make a good choice based on merit & not feelings hopefully in 2024 things will be better.
Go right outside the Roosevelt hotel and pick up all bikes without plates.that's an easy fix. Mayor Adams hold your head up and see what is going on right in front of you. Let the police do their job!
“NYPD says they hear people’s frustration and will do everything in their power to silve this issue…”. It’s kind of vague statement which doesn’t offer any solution whatsoever *smh
There should not be any moped on the sidewalk. The city has to be responsible for the e-bikes crimes because they permitted. Lawsuit the city every time.
They should be legal in every state. Aside from drinking and driving or habitual wreckless driving, there are way too many stupid things the cops and the states can take a working persons driver's license away. Way too many. Im all for working people getting to work.
They pretty much are Legal in every state. Just not on sidewalks. New York is just a cramped city and doesn't really have the infrastructure to have good bike lanes & parking & that's 1/2 the problem.
The issue is PEOPLE breaking laws that need to be held accountable. Ebikes cannot break the law and cannot be held accountable. Get your message straight and you can begin making progress on this issue.
Because of the high price of gas & maintaining a vehicle not to mention the rise in subway crime & the cost of a taxi these days people are turning to E-Bikes. But not following Any of the rules of the road, not stopping at red lights, not letting pedestrians cross on green lights, tightly turning on corners. Hit & runs & having the audacity to get angry at people just trying to cross, plus they use bike lanes to go against traffick.
That's the issue with the licenses also. All the mopeds look the same but depending on the displacement of the engine (cc's) it classification of the bike is either class A B or C "limited use motorcycle" class B and C do not require licenses class C do not require any registration.... the issue is they all look the same... The e bikes or scooters or mopeds are classified by the type of lithium used and also the amount of total wattage. Anything higher than 1500 is illegal in NYC. Lots of E vehicles have 3500 watts of power able to easily go 50mph with no sound or anything. The issue is that the technology of micro transportation grew 10 times faster than the laws and infrastructure. It also became cheaper and more accessible. The city can't stop it. It's impossible to remove a new technology once it's been adopted. There will be 2x more of this issue next year guaranteed.
Let me get this straight: 65,000 residents who choose to use an electric vehicle and only a handful of loud "Karens" complaining so the Faux News goes and gives a platform to that handful of Karens. Got it!

Throw the whole city away. My goodness.
I can tell you from first hand experience this is a cultural thing from other countries where traffic laws are more of a suggestion

Hire more cops and assign them to e-bike duty. If you drive without a license, you get a $500 fine! That will put a huge dent in illegal e-bikes.
