Massachusetts State Police impounded 14 illegal mopeds and scooters in Boston's Back Bay and Fenway neighborhoods last week, including actions on Tuesday night. The action was part of a broader crackdown announced by Boston officials this week, targeting scooters, mopeds, and motorcycles due to numerous complaints about erratic and unlawful operation. This included an incident at Boylston & Dartmouth in Copley Square where a scooter driver lost control while popping a wheelie. The crackdown also involved addressing food delivery companies, with Boston officials sending a letter to DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber citing an alarming increase in dangerous vehicle operations. The companies were given until today to respond to the city's concerns.
