New York state legalizes ebikes
NYC had temporarily suspended the ban on throttle bikes, which are widely used for delivery. Someone snuck a provision into the new state budget to make it permanent.

Cuomo didn't write the bill. It's a weird thing to have in a budget.

The BikeTarrytown blog had a good post describing the regulations. Most problematic is the default state-wide ban on >30mph roads, although localities can permit them the wording in the governors budget blocks ebikes from riding on 90% of roads in the state, or bike trails, or sidewalks.
