Every year, City agencies make over 100 changes or additions to the City rules that are an important part of how government interacts with the public. New Yorkers can review proposed rules and voice their opinions about those rules before they are adopted into law.

    IMO, it should be 20mph, but it’s a software limit. It’s nothing to “tune” it.

    You’re talking about vehicles that typically aren’t open source and don’t have a firmware update mechanism. There is no reason to expect they’re even possible to change without swapping out the entire controller.

      People really need to stop buying those. The companies are parasites for reasons that go far beyond this.

        The people who ride these ebikes are usually immigrant delivery guys who have little to no cash and not many alternatives.
