No mo’: Revel brake in Bx.
Revel said it is “pausing” its moped rentals in The Bronx due to a rash of stolen parts there.
A “significant spike in thefts” has “left mopeds unusable for Revel’s riders” in the borough, the company said in a statement that added: “We are exploring ways to address this issue and hope to resume service in the future.”
Revel’s bailing from the borough was first reported by Bronx Times, which cited a rash of battery thefts. Revel continues to operate its moped sharing in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, the company said.
Previously, it halted service citywide for a month after three fatal crashes in 10 days.
