The building next to me has 10 tenants charging these things inside of their apt. I'm so scared of a fire. The landlord doesn't care and does nothing. Are there no regulations about charging these things in residential buildings

Same. 15 illegal mopeds parked on the sidewalk and front yard. NYPD says there's nothing they can do.

ShayaRubensteinJan 19 at 10:38 AM

Another illegal ebike battery. When are we going to ban these things?

@kevino1 sadly true.

Mimidee83Jan 19 at 10:49 AM

And they want everyone to switch over to battery operated cars.

pwe823Jan 19 at 10:47 AM

That's why all these scooters should be illegal
