The city’s police have been cracking down on illegal mopeds and e-bikes across the five boroughs, including a group from the 46th Precinct who made a big sweep on Tuesday night.
Dozens of illegal bikes, mopeds and scooters were captured. Police say that the illegal vehicles have continued to play a big role in crimes across New York City – including a shooting that took place Wednesday where three suspects fled on their own mopeds.
The Department of Motor Vehicles website says that if you have a moped, it needs to be registered.
