      Ernest Augustus, a member of Brooklyn Community Board 2, testifies in strong support of Intro 606 (Priscilla's law), which would require license plates for all e-bikes and e-mobility vehicles. He emphasizes the importance of this bill for public safety, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly, disabled, and children.

      • Augustus highlights that the e-bike safety issue resonates strongly in his Clinton Hill and Fort Greene community, especially among black women.
      • He questions the legitimacy of efforts to delegitimize the safety concerns surrounding e-bikes.
      • Augustus urges the committee to recognize the public safety issue despite attempts to gaslight policymakers and the public.
