Revel

Great alternative to Uber and Lyft in the NYC area. Loved my trips.

Can't wait to see the lawsuits. There's a reason that most motorcyclists take classes and learn how to take down their bike, keeping an eye out for oblivious car drivers, and all those other issues. This is just a cluster that is not going to end well.

Do I think these will have a net positive impact on transportation and city streets? No. Inexperienced drivers and tourists and angry drivers will inevitably collide. Literally and figuratively. Would I rent one myself? Probably! 😂

It looks nice and I think it's really good stuff for people living in NYC. Since now traffic jams are not scary for someone who can drive by moped

Frequently see smashed Revels littering the streets of Brooklyn. Only a matter of time before insurance exceeds revenue (let alone profit). This is also a massive waste of resources. Walking and public transport are eco friendly (it's f'n NYC!). A cheap Chinese scooter that consumes resources and ships from around the world only to be disposed of yearly after a hipster crashes it while juuling; Not.

I’m ok with the product. But I have to have a license to ride my motorcycle, which is what this is. And I had to take a test to prove that I know how to ride it - how to avoid falls on turns, how to brake properly (because of the particular physics of braking on a motorbike), etc. And I have to carry proof of insurance. And, I have to have state license on my motorbike. Why don’t these restrictions apply to these motorbikes?

We have these moped in Germany for more than a couple of years and its honestly the best complimentary system to our public transportation + it´s so much fun.
