Relates to lights for bicycles with electric assist and electric scooters

This bill (A 9209) requires manufacturers shipping electric-assist bicycles and electric scooters in New York State to permanently install specific lighting before selling them. It mandates front white lights visible 500 feet ahead and rear red or amber lights visible 300 feet behind (with 200-foot side visibility) for e-bikes, and similar rear lights for e-scooters. The law directly affects manufacturers selling these vehicles in New York, not end-users or riders. It takes effect 90 days after becoming law, setting clear safety standards for lighting equipment on these products.
