E-bikes and mopeds now street legal in New York

New Yorkers have more options to get around the city — on two wheels.

The city made pedal-assist bikes street legal over the weekend and a startup is letting New Yorkers tap an app to hop on an electric moped.

In the Bronx, city transportation officials welcomed Jump to a dockless bike share pilot in the Fordham area. The bike share company will operate 200 pedal-assist ebikes. Citi Bike will join Jump bikes in the Bronx pilot, with 200 of its dockless rides.

Meanwhile, a Brooklyn company in Bushwick named Revel Transit launched an app Monday where people can rent one of 68 e-mopeds off city streets, similar to ride-share companies like Car2Go and Zipcar.

Revel’s electronic mopeds are legal under the state’s existing laws, and are registered and insured with the state Department of Motor Vehicles.

Revel has a $25 fee to cover a motor vehicle license check, and rides cost $4 for the first 20 minutes and an extra 25 cent per-minute charge after that. There are fines from the app if bikes are left on the sidewalk, instead of the street where they must be parked.

Revel is limited to Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick in Brooklyn.

“There’s a market for everyone — if you look at any European city, any Latin American city, people that get on mopeds (are) young, old, male, female, so we think that the market will grow quickly,” said Paul Suhey, cofounder and CEO of Revel.
