Chair Abreu asks about enforcement on speed and wattage limits

So what type of enforcement actions have you done with respect to legal speed and wattage limits?

So you're talking about, like, for example, with the e-bikes.

Yes.

Yes.

All right.

So there really are two different things.

If you're talking about the inspections at points of sale, that'll actually turn it over to Chief Obey to discuss.

So with point of sale inspections, I just want to start by saying that we started these initiatives in 2021.

And again, combining retail education, working closely with the DOT, inspections, and then enforcement.

So in 2021, which was phase one for us,

The focus at that time was on motorized two-wheelers, specifically mopeds.

So these are mopeds that are problematic in the sense that they cannot be registered.

So in all of 21-22, 127 inspections, 108 seizures, we issued 108 old summonses.

In all of 23, 124 inspections, 61 seizures, 67 criminal, and 28 old summonses.

We did the work through the first quarter of 2024, January through March 24, 263 inspections, 11 seizures, 19 criminal summonses issued, and 11 old summonses.

In response to the concerns that we started to see with the trends in injuries and

collisions and fatalities with e-bikes, especially e-bikes that are, I mean, you know, the motorized tool world, especially devices that were higher powered or out of class e-bikes and e-scooters.

In January of this year, NYPD and DOT identified 71 storefront locations selling higher powered devices.

We selected these devices based on...

Commissioner, thank you.

I think you've been responsive to my question.

Oh, okay.
