Are you an electric bike owner living in an apartment complex that’s trying to ban e-bikes? You might be eligible to take part in a landmark lawsuit to protect your rights! We’re looking for riders with UL-certified e-bikes to join a legal effort aimed at setting a precedent that ensures e-bikes cannot be unfairly banned from apartment complexes. By standing together, we can create lasting change that safeguards e-bike use for transportation and ensures access to safe, sustainable mobility options in New York City.
If you’ve been affected by these building bans or want to learn more about the legal aspects of e-bike ownership in NYC, feel free to reach out!
