Revel Scooters Return to NYC Streets with Strict Guidlines

After being shut down for one month, Revel mopeds have returned to the Big Apple on Thursday.

The Company was shut down in NYC after three fatal accidents occurred in just ten days.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said the transportation company would only be allowed back in the city once officials deem the service safe.

To step up riders' safety, Revel has added an in-app "how-to" video that is mandatory to watch before riding. They have also started requiring all drivers to snap a picture of themselves in helmets, and lastly, all riders will need to take a 20 minute, 21-question safety test.

The company has also said it will suspend riders who violate any of its rules, at first with a 7-day suspension but if the offense is repeated then the user will be permanently suspended from the service.
