7:30 PM - Event Ends
E-bikes are transformative for older riders and people with limited mobility, opening new possibilities for getting around by bike. They make it easier to carry passengers, haul groceries and other essentials, and travel longer distances with confidence. Yet confusion between pedal-assist e-bikes and much faster e-motos, along with reckless behavior from a minority of riders, has fueled calls for restrictive legislation and even bans on this innovative technology.
Join Reconnect Rochester for a conversation covering....
-The quirky e-bike laws of NYS from 2020
-Bills in the Legislature that would "fix" those problems
-The backlash we're experiencing locally and nationally
-Some dangerous bills in the state legislature that could restrict their use
-Hear from the bike community about how to move forward
