This week, city leaders are cracking down on illegal e-bikes. Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued cease-and-desist letters to online retailers accused of selling illegal models while New York City responds to a rise in fatalities involving e-bikes and e-scooters, including the death of a 17-year-old boy who crashed after leaving the Brooklyn Bridge last week. Investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Kelly Mena and Bobby Cuza examine the city\u2019s response to the latest tragedy.<\/p>\n
