Electric bikes are illegal in the entire state of New York, especially NYC. But there is an easy fix – just license and regulate them, then fine people who don't play by the rules.

In my city, I know someone who was ticked for "unlicensed operation" for riding his electric scooter (stand-up type) on a park bike path. The law here considers any vehicle with a motor a "motor vehicle" and all motor vehicle laws apply, so anyone wanting to ride an e-bike would need to register with the DMV, and follow traffic laws.
