Bostonians React To An E-bike Speed Limit Idea

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
New York City just introduced a new fifteen mile per
hour speed limit for e bikes as they try to
crack down on reckless riding. Here, blue bike e bike
motors are capped in eighteen miles per hour, but you
can go faster by pedaling or using a non blue bike.
Sam rides e bikes every day to work and doesn't
think it's a big difference.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I think if they're only able to go up to eighteen,
there isn't much need to cap it at fifteen personally,
but I think eighteen is reasonable.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Pablo also takes them to work, but understands why people
would want speed limits.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I like to that they have more speed, but I
know always a security feature that they don't have it,
and I think.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
That's that's worth.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
John only ever rides the classic bikes and has had
many run ins with reckless e bike riders.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
I think it's a great idea, absolutely. I think the
more safety measures the better on the road.
