I don't see how these laws will reduce e-bike accidents, unless they reduce the number of people riding them. It would be interesting to see just how Denmark arrived at those published safety statistics.
The "outlaw" riders are just that, and will largely ignore the laws. Most have little to lose should they get caught, fined, and/or sued.
Then there is the enforcement. In reality, how will it be accomplished, who will do it, and how will it be financed? The ideas in the proposed legislation seem impractical to me considering the size of NYC.
IMO, the only ones who will gain from these laws are the lawyers, the taxing authority, the insurance companies and the groups paid to do the studies.
