OCHESTER, N.Y. " Someone or some people are throwing the Veo e-bikes and e-scooters into the Genesee River in downtown Rochester. Chief Investigative Reporter Berkeley Brean found at least three bikes over the railing on Broad Street, with one nearly fully submerged. It's unknown how many are completely underwater. "I walked along the riverway downtown looking for e-bikes and e-scooters," said Brean. The bikes themselves weigh 83 pounds and retail up to $3,500 a bike. It's the responsibility of Veo, the company contracted by the City of Rochester, to pull these bikes out. They're working with the city to figure out the right time and the safe way to go down into the river to fish them out. I spotted the bikes near the library, the convention center and on the west bank near the Blue Cross Arena. read more
