Chair Abreu asks what percentage of collisions involve illegal devices

Of collisions involving motorized micromobility devices, what percentage involve illegal devices?

I don't know if PD has this information.

So we track very generally.

I think the difficulty, I think, is one of the reasons why we're here today.

We don't break down.

The data and collisions by legal or non-street legal.

It's just e-bike, stand-up scooter, that type of thing, but we don't do legal versus non-street legal.

Does the admin have a plan to begin collecting that data?

I think having that information, again, is very important.

Totally understood, though I will say, and I think this will be coming up over the course of the hearing, right, part of the challenge is that

sometimes, particularly with e-bikes, being able to tell on its face whether it's a street legal or street illegal device can be very difficult to determine.

Now, when you have a fatality and you have sort of an in-depth CIS investigation, we're going to be able to determine that.

But to the extent, you know, talking about an accident, no fatality, no serious injury, and that's a serious matter.

I'm not making light of any accident.

But I would say different type of investigation is going to go into that.

To the extent in every case.

We would have to determine whether a particular e-bike is street legal or street legal on its face.

That's a complicated matter.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but that is very challenging.
