Revel - Uber for electric mopeds

The same in Brazil: https://www.ribashare.com/

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.

There is a company already doing this in Barcelona and it's awesome: https://www.getyugo.com. I use them to travel 20 minutes to work every day. They do 50kmph. Theres a small unlock fee then you pay per minute.

These scooters are safer, cooler, and get more people to stop using Uber cars that cause traffic. More room on the road. Hope to see a good two seater in SF.

any plans to come to Rio de Janeiro/Brazil?

Scoot's are the best way to commute and explore San Francisco! I hope to see more of these. Hopefully, city governments and states embrace these.

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.

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’ve used Revel once so far and liked the experience. It’s main value seems to be getting between two places that aren’t well connected by public transit, esp when you don’t want to take a car. I just wish that it had capacity to carry stuff. As it is the cargo is dedicated to helmet storage. I would use it to run some shopping errands otherwise.

As a “senior” (age 61), there’s no way I’d use an electric scooter. Electric moped? Hell, yeah. But I agree with one commenter - battery (especially Li-ion) technology is dirty and also uses a lot of carbon-based fuels during extraction and manufacturing. Scooters require battery replacement and have lousy lifetimes. If Revel can keep e-mopeds on the street for years, they’ll beat e-scoots on the environmental front hands down.
