Darwin will soon be home to Neuron’s first ever e-bike programme, with a fleet of 150 e-bikes available to hire across the city from early December. The launch will complement our existing e-scooter scheme which has been extended for a further 12 months with an expanded riding area and 150 additional e-scooters.

The e-bikes will provide Darwinites with another sustainable transport option, especially for longer journeys as riders can travel faster on bike paths, footpaths, and low-speed roads. The e-bike riding area will launch with over 30 convenient incentivised parking stations and an initial 15 square kilometers operating zone, which incorporates the CBD, The Gardens, Stuart Park, Parap, East Point and Fannie Bay.

Similar to our e-scooters, many pioneering safety features will be carried over to our e-bikes including: our app-controlled helmet lock, a 000 emergency button, voice guidance, topple detection and a “Follow my Ride” function. Geofencing technology will also control where they can be ridden, parked and how fast they can travel in certain areas. 

Users will be able to conveniently choose between both transport modes for the same price depending on their preference and types of journey through our user-friendly app.
