Chair Abreu asks about NYPD seizures of illegal devices
Abreu asks how many illegal micromobility devices NYPD has seized this year, and Chief Obey provides numbers for moped and e-bike seizures.
How many illegal motorized micromobility devices has NYPD seized or impounded so far this year?
So when we seize motorized micro-lead devices, whether mopeds, e-bikes, or scooters, the decision to seize is based on
whether the device itself was used in the commission of a crime, reckless driving of an e-bike or e-scooter, e-bike or e-scooter operator under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if it's an illegal device.
That's a motorized scooter that is an illegal e-bike, illegal e-scooter, or an unregisterable, which is a moped, which means a moped that cannot be registered.
So year-to-date 26, moped seizures, 10,080.
Year-end 2025, 14,120.
E-bike seizures, 1,206, year-to-date 26.
How does the number of seized illegal micromobility devices compare to the number seized last year?
I just gave the moped seizures.
I'm sorry I don't have e-bike seizures for 25, but I do have the year-to-date numbers for 26.
Can you share those?
No, I just share them.
Sorry?
You said you have the year-to-date numbers.
Can you share that?
Yeah, so for moped seizures, 10,080, that's year-to-date 26.
E-bike seizures, 1,206, year-to-date 26.
