After a successful pilot in the Bronx, we’re excited to continue the micromobility revolution in New York City. Next stop: Queens, NY!
It’s been an exciting past three years in the Bronx, where residents and visitors have taken over 4 million trips to date. A few highlights:
🛴 An overwhelmingly strong safety record: Our partnership with the City puts rider safety first. Since the program’s launch, DOT has recorded few serious injuries and no fatalities, with fewer than one crash reported per 10,000 trips.
🛵Riders demand options: In the Bronx (and now Queens!), Veo offers a mixed fleet of standing and seated scooters. Our seated Cosmo scooter, with large tires, a seat, and a low center of gravity, is our rider-favorite in the Bronx.
🚌 Bridging transit gaps in neighborhoods not served by subways: Nearly 40% of Veo’s Bronx riders report using scooters to connect to transit, showing how shared scooters are becoming a critical part of New York City’s transportation system.
✅ Equity as a priority: Veo’s Access Pricing model has provided thousands of truly affordable trips for low-income New Yorkers, with our $5 a month membership unlocking free daily riding and other perks.
Ready to ride in Queens? Here are some tips to get started:
How to Ride
