Relates to lithium-ion battery safety resources for limited use motorcycles
This bill (S 737) updates terminology in New York's lithium-ion battery safety resources to replace "moped" with "limited use motorcycle" as defined in vehicle law. It requires the Department of State to develop and post public safety resources covering fire prevention, charging, disposal, and emergency response for limited use motorcycles, micromobility devices (like e-scooters), and other battery-powered devices. The resources will specifically address hazards related to lithium-ion and second-use batteries used in these vehicles. The bill does not create new regulations but ensures safety materials are accessible online for the public.
