Our distinctive orange e-scooters will remain in Bundaberg and Bargara for another 12 months following a permit extension from Bundaberg Regional Council. Neuron’s safety-first e-scooters have been operating in Bundaberg since April 2021 and have been embraced by the community. 

Since launching, our riders have racked up close to 800,000 kilometres eliminating an estimated 56 tonnes of CO2 by providing an alternative to short car trips. E-scooters have proven to be a popular form of transport over the 12 months, with two riding area expansions and the addition of 75 e-scooters in September 2021, bringing the total number of e-scooters in the region to 325. 

We’ve seen a range of benefits since our e-scooters were introduced, from helping tourists explore their city, to extending the range of locals so they can further support local businesses. Our rider survey has shown e-scooters are boosting the local economy, 62% of rides resulted in a purchase at a business, and 24% of trips wouldn’t have happened at all if the e-scooters weren’t available.

We look forward to continuing to support the city to scoot to their favourite local spots in a safe, convenient and fun way!
