Revel Riders Face Restrictions

Riders on Revel scooters in New York, Miami, San Francisco and the District of Columbia must wear helmets while riding and send a selfie image to the company to ensure compliance.

And riders also will have to complete a three-minute safety video and a 20-question test.

The requirements were put in place after a third person died from injuries sustained in a Revel scooter crash.

All that was previously required to ride a Revel was a standard driver’s license, because the 30-mph vehicles don’t require a motorcycle endorsement for operators.
