Ford\u2019s latest 4\u00d74 can go places even the new Bronco…

\n A Manhattan congressman is urging the state to pull Revel scooters off the streets \u2014 after reading The Post\u2019s coverage of a near-fatal collision involving one of the rental mopeds in his district over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cA situation like this could have easily turned fatal,\u201d Rep. Adriano Espaillat said in a letter Monday to state DMV chief Mark Schroeder, in reference to the collision that left a 30-year-old rider with head trauma in Inwood on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing a series<\/a> of reports over the past few days, it has become clear that there are serious safety implications for Revel users, other vehicles on the road and bystanders.\u201d<\/p>\n

State officials should halt Revel\u2019s operations until the company has \u201cadequate and updated regulations and training and safety measures,\u201d the congressman said, specifically citing driver education and a more stringent helmet mandate.<\/p>\n

Revel\u2019s official rules require users have a regular driver\u2019s license and wear a helmet for its users \u2014 but they don\u2019t need a special motorcycle license.<\/p>\n

The rules are also frequently violated: On July 16, the company emailed users to warn them to obey traffic laws, and said it had suspended over 1,000 users in a single month.<\/p>\n

Two days later, CBS New York reporter Nina Kapur became the first Revel rider killed on city streets. Kapur was reportedly not wearing a helmet.<\/p>\n

A rep for Espaillat said the congressman\u2019s letter was inspired by The Post\u2019s coverage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boss saw the story of the constituent in Inwood. That\u2019s when he called for the vehicles to be removed,\u201d said spokeswoman Candace Person.<\/p>\n

A Revel spokesperson said the company has suspended another 1,000 users in the last two weeks, and promised an in-app<\/a> safety test in the next few weeks \u2014 as well as a new feature that requires users to confirm they are wearing a helmet before each ride.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we launched Revel, we knew that expanding access to mobility would mean taking on the risks of the road. We\u2019ve been working since day one to combat these risks, and are constantly working to do more to make our streets safe,\u201d the company said in a statement.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
