Cities across the United States, including New York, Washington D.C., and Boston, are intensifying efforts to curb illegal and reckless moped and scooter use. Authorities are seizing unregistered vehicles and cracking down on unsafe riding practices, such as riding on sidewalks and using headphones while operating e-scooters and bikes. The crackdown comes amid growing concerns from residents about safety and the increasing number of incidents involving delivery drivers and other riders.
