The initiative has been launched to coincide with the recent national lockdown in New Zealand, it will help support the efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19 in the cities where Neuron operates. Neuron’s e-scooters — which are recognised as a form of essential transport — will be positioned so they can be better used by public health workers, in recognition that most do not have the option to work from home.

Frontline health workers will be able to activate the free monthly pass easily through the latest version of our user-friendly app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. Registration takes a matter of minutes. Simply visit the Rates & Passes page and verify your work email address to redeem your free Monthly Pass. Then you can unlock and ride our e-scooters straight away.

Safety is our top priority, this is demonstrated both in its e-scooters, which have been designed for rental and safety, and also in how they operate them. The company has gained great experience of operating through multiple lockdowns in Australia and the United Kingdom, where it also provided thousands of free passes for frontline workers.

In a further effort to support the community’s response to the current pandemic, last month we  launched an initiative to assist the nation’s COVID-19 vaccination rollout, committing $100,000 to help more New Zealanders travel to their vaccination appointments. This promotion is still active and can be redeemed when the vaccination roll-out resumes, in line with the New Zealand Government’s guidelines.

Stay safe!
