New York May Ban Class 3 E-Bikes + EU Targets Illegal E-Bikes | TWR 104
This week on The Weekly Recharge, New York City is considering new legislation that could ban the sale, rental, and eventually the use of Class 3 e-bikes.
We also look at new proposals in Europe targeting illegal e-bike tampering kits, Giant and Liv’s new eMTBs with traction control, and an Urban Arrow cargo e-bike recall.
Plus, we check out Monarch’s new smart helmet, rear radar, and tire pressure monitoring accessories, answer your e-bike questions, talk trails, and run through this week’s best deals.
Let us know in the comments: do you think Class 3 e-bikes should remain legal in New York City?
