This scooter-share company has just released a thousand mopeds in Brooklyn. Revel @we_are_revelers scooters are rentable by the minute via the app and can be parked in any legal city parking space. The scooters can be returned only in Brooklyn and Queens (see second image for the specific zone) but will soon expand. Brooklyn Eagle summarized how it works: The mopedsโ home area stretches from Industry City in Brooklyn to Astoria in Queens. This includes Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, part of Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Downtown and DUMBO, among other neighborhoods. They will be appearing here within the next few days. Two DOT-certified helmets and insurance are provided with each moped, and thereโs a foot rest if you want to have a second rider. When the ride is over, you just park it in a spot thatโs legal for the next 24 hours (within the home area), and walk away. The machines donโt operate from midnight to 5 a.m. The cost is $1 to unlock the vehicle, then 25 cents a minute to ride. You can pause your ride for 10 cents a minute. (Thereโs a $19 fee when you sign up to pay for a license check.) A moped is legally defined as any low-powered motorcycle with an engine capacity no greater than 50cc, and a max speed under 30 mph. #revel #revelmoped #gorevel #brooklyn #dumbo #longislandcity #nyc #fortgreene #vinegarhill #brooklynnavyyard #cobblehill #brooklynheights #downtownbk #parkslope #transit #moped #scooter #brooklynnyc #urban #urbanism #nycurbanism (at Cobble Hill, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIpKxznjha/?igshid=fs5k7nx1w57f
