The era of more regulation may be upon us - if New York enacts more rules, it's likely that other cities will follow and insurers may even begin to exclude liabilities from Lithium battery fires.

What can the industry do now to regulate itself? Is there some reasonable amount of safety regulation that can save lives without dramatically increasing costs?

I just wish there was any enforcement at all. I walk around the Bronx 2x a week at night and it's constant red light running, or riding on the sidewalk, or no lights. Just no rules.

How does it compare with regular pedal bike users?
