Members of New York’s congressional delegation are seeking answers from federal regulators on e-bike safety standards and enforcement following a deadly fire at a Chinatown bike shop last week that left four people dead.
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-Manhattan/Brooklyn) penned a letter to the commissioners of the Consumer Product Safety Commission Thursday seeking an update from the agency on its outreach to e-bike manufacturers. The agency is calling on the firms to only manufacture and sell devices with batteries independently certified as safe.
