Council Member Hudson introduces Intro 244 banning sale of Class 3 e-bikes
Crystal Hudson introduces Intro 244, which would prohibit the sale and rental of Class 3 e-bikes, with fines up to $2,000 for sellers, but no penalties for buyers or renters.
Thank you so much, Chairs, for holding this important hearing today and for the opportunity to speak on my bills.
Good morning, everyone.
Intro 244 would prohibit the sale and rental of Class 3 e-bikes.
Any seller or lesser who violates the law, including companies like Wiz or Zumo, which many delivery workers use,
would see a fine of up to $2,000.
No penalties would be levied against any buyer or renter.
This bill ensures all devices that can be sold or rented can only go up to 20 miles per hour and keeps many bikes that are popular with delivery workers, like the Fly 11, legal to sell and available for purchase.
