today, New Yorkers can join the waitlist for moped sharing company Revel’s new
monthly e-bike service.
Coast
by Revel is the company’s third product since launching its service in 2018.
It will cost $99 a month.
Last
summer, Revel shut down in New York City after two fatal crashes in a matter of
weeks. One of the victims was former News 12 reporter Nina Kapur.
The
service relaunched in August under
strict safety protocols.
The
Department of Transportation says there was a growing concern regarding safety
last summer. The Brooklyn-based company, which had 3,000 mopeds available for
use in New York City, also had 330 crashes recorded within the first seven
months of 2020.
Revel
says it voluntarily shut down operations on July 28 and reopened a month later
with enhanced safety requirements, including a mandatory selfie submission to
ensure riders and passengers were wearing helmets.
