    Probably why he had an e-bike. Fast, silent, small, and easy to ride long distances compared to a normal bike, or a car in New York. Definitely helps that you can buy them for cash, without a license, and often person-to-person second hand

      And there’s a lot of ebikes on the used market that were stolen in the first place. I’ve been trying to buy an ebike for a while and it’s something that’s on my mind while shopping used. So the seller is even more incentivized to keep their mouth shut.

        There’s a proposed law for nyc to require licenses for them, but I think that was already in motion
