After pulling their mopeds from the Bronx last year citing thefts, the company reintroduced them this year. But crime stats haven’t really changed.
. The company says its return is less a barometer of crime in the city and more about limiting its service area to the western Bronx.
Revel scooters are concentrated along the Harlem River, from Yankee Stadium to Fordham Heights. The Bronx accounts for only a small portion of Revel’s moped customer base — about 100 trips a day, compared to roughly 4,000, city-wide. Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson pointed to Revel’s return as a way to mitigate the Bronx’s “transportation deserts”.
Residents are also glad to see Revel back. Louis Guerrero lives in Highbridge and uses the mopeds to run errands.
