Officials announced the finalized details for delivery workers to trade in their uncertified e-bikes, illegal mopeds and the batteries that power them for safe, regulated gear.

“When we support safe e-battery charging, we support the safety of all New Yorkers,” city Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodríguez said.

To qualify for the free exchange, workers have to be a New York City resident, 18 years old, have a working e-device and have made more than $1,500 as a deliverista in 2024.

“We’re supercharging our safety efforts to get unsafe e-bikes and e-scooters and lithium ion batteries off our streets,” Mayor Eric Adams said.

The city chose Cooper Square in Manhattan as the location for the announcement because it has a battery charging station for delivery workers to charge their depleted batteries after a shift and pick up a charged one.

“We will continue working to combat these tragedies,” Rodríguez said.

It’s the most recent part of the Charge Safe, Ride Safe program started by the city Department of Transportation.

The City Council has passed several laws aimed at making lithium-on batteries safer, including mandating that all lithium-ion batteries and micromobility devices be certified.

The city said its agencies have conducted nearly a thousand inspections of businesses to ensure compliance with the law and safe charging, issuing 782 summonses and 20 vacate orders.

“We have conducted hundreds of proactive safety inspections of businesses who sell these devices and have issued thousands of dollars in fines and we have even made some arrests,” Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker said.

The city said its actions are reducing the number of lithium ion battery fueled fire deaths from 14 last year to four so far this year.

Lithium-ion battery fires have started 733 fires since 2019, according to the city.

The $2 million in funding from the Charge Safe, Ride Safe program will help provide 400 certified bikes and two batteries for the people selected.
