Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s directive to go easy on e-bike violations has “legalized” reckless riding and let lawlessness run rampant on city streets, a new lawsuit filed on Thursday claimed. The complaint, filed Thursday in Richmond County Supreme Court by nine New Yorkers who were injured by e‑bikes, claims Mamdani’s March directive illegally bars cops from issuing criminal summonses to e‑bike riders who blast through red lights, ride on sidewalks or barrel the wrong way down one‑way streets. “The lack of any actual safety policy, or even concern frankly, is the very definition of capricious decision making, as well as a stunning offense to public trust,” the lawsuit said.
