NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A 24-year-old female, New Rochelle resident, was injured Saturday riding the newly available Veo scooters.
“She apparently failed to use the brake on the scooter she was operating, and struck a street sign, causing injury to her lip and mouth, said a New Rochelle Police Department spokesperson.
She was transported to Montefiore, New Rochelle.
A rider of a rental scooter sustained serious injuries to her face when she lost control of the scooter while riding down Church Street in New Rochelle on 6/26/21. She required transportation by ambulance to Sound Shore medical center. Use great care when riding.

Two weeks ago the City of New Rochelle announced the new partnership with Veo.
The City of New Rochelle and micro mobility innovation company VeoRide announced today the soft launch of a new shared mobility system of e-scooters and bikes throughout New Rochelle’s neighborhoods, including its historic Downtown. Beginning Friday, Veo will begin to phase in 200 Astro e-scooters and 30 bikes at strategic locations around the City over the next week. Veo was selected as the City’s new operator in late 2019 before the pandemic delayed its launch.
