As deaths climb, NYC mulls e-bike crackdown under new agency planned by Mayor Eric Adams

E-bike safety checks and enforcement would be a key role of the new city agency Mayor Eric Adams is contemplating to regulate New York’s growing food and package delivery industry.

Deputy Mayor Meera Joshi — who is leading Adams’ push to design and establish what some informally call the Department of Sustainable Delivery — told the New York Daily News the agency “will regulate new forms of delivery transit and ensure their safety.”

“The equipment that you’re going to use to do that delivery has to be inspected,” said Joshi.
