NY only allows pedal assist. In NYC they will crack down on electric motorcycles using the paths but ignore the delivery guys.

This appears to be incorrect. In NYC e-bikes with a throttle are permitted, and subject to the same limitations as pedal-assist bikes, as long as they don't exceed 20 mph (~32 km/h). [0].
