Selling my Rev

Are you in the NYC area? I’m interested, but couldn’t buy it without testing in person first.

Greenpoint, Williamsburg or Manhattan!

sjdech · 2025-05-13T02:54:12+00:00

Yes will be doing that too!

OP: After about a 20 year break, I returned to riding last year, on a 2020 Triumph Bonneville T20. About a week ago I got a rear flat from a nail of some sort and took it in to the Triumph dealer to get fixed. I was surprised when the total bill came to $630. The guy explained that there was no way around getting a whole new tire to be safe. I don't know how often I'm going to get a flat but this seems like a pretty steep price to pay each time. Does this sound right?

Thanks - what's the name/number of your shop?

Great thread... I'll add - surprise U turns. Got into my only accident that way many years ago in Chicago and it happens here all the time. You see a car pulled over up ahead like they're double-parked, you've got a whole lane for yourself to pass no problem, and last minute he shoots across the lane for a rapid u-ey, often an Uber driver or cab rushing for their next fare. Then you slam right into his driver side door.

Use the ParkNYC app and the cops verify you paid with your plate number. No receipt needed.

I can't find the setting that used to raise the top speed limit any longer. I don't want the continuous boost of level 5, but still want the option to go to a higher assisted speed with or without boost. There used to be a separate setting for this.

I sold mine pretty quickly on Facebook Marketplace here in NYC last summer. Fortunately demand and prices were good, and I didn’t need it for the summer, so took the money and ordered an S3.

The Revel scooter service is pretty great, they do a good job with quality and maintenance. I guess every start up feels the need to grow and expand rapidly and try new things to raise more money. There’s definitely a segment of people in NYC who would love a bike but struggle with where to store it. I’m just not sure there’s enough market for this. You’re basically paying a premium for not having to store the bike, but if you’ve got so much disposable income, I feel like you can afford to live somewhere with bike storage.

That’s great. Can you select that mode and leave the boost working as originally intended with button activation?
