A 5446 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to high-speed electric personal assistive mobility devices

This bill establishes new rules for electric mobility devices that exceed 20 mph (classified as "high-speed" devices), distinguishing them from slower personal assistive mobility devices. It requires high-speed devices to meet specific safety standards (including pedestrian collision mitigation and mandatory bells), prohibits universal chargers, and mandates registration for operation on public roads with speed limits under 40 mph. Owners must register these devices and comply with safety requirements, while manufacturers must provide operator manuals. The law applies directly to owners, operators, and manufacturers of high-speed electric mobility devices like e-scooters and e-skateboards.
