“Revel Waves Goodbye to Shared Mopeds, Uses Handlebars to Salute NYC and San Francisco”

“Adios, Two-Wheeler: Revel Calls it Quits on Shared Mopeds”

“Ah, the humble moped – simple, efficient, mildly claustrophobic with a charming aura of a bygone era. Alas! It’s time for Revel, an electric mobility startup, to bid farewell to their shared moped service in long-standing markets: San Francisco and New York City. It’s as if the city will lose its sprinkling of buzzing, little fireflies on wheels.”

“Company-Wide Email: The Vehicle of Change”

“Into every company’s life, a bit of change must fall. This decree of the shared moped drop comes from a company-wide email sent by none other than CEO and co-founder Frank Reig. TechCrunch, through marvellous investigation skills or perhaps just by checking the inbox, came across the internal communication.”

“Focus: The Keyword”

“With San Francisco and New York being the last two locations for Revel’s moped sharing service, the exit certainly adds a tone of finality. But there’s always a silver lining, right? Absolutely. The company now aims to focus like a laser beam on… well, something else. It’s the tactical maneuver of ‘going back to the drawing board’.”

“Hot Take: A Farewell to Mopeds”

“In the grand scheme of things, one might ponder, ‘Do mopeds hold a candle to the antics of flying cars and teleporting devices wedged into our sci-fi indoctrinated brains?’ Well, obviously not. But they were fun while they lasted, weren’t they? So, as we bid adieu to the shared moped experience in NYC and San Francisco, let’s pour out a quart of two-stroke oil for our departed two-wheeled friends. Zoom off into the sunset, little buddies!”
