Neuron expands Canberra e-scooter riding area in time for Christmas!

Riders can now scoot from the city’s north and south with Tuggeranong and Weston Creek joining the riding area

We are thrilled to be expanding our service area in Canberra in time for Christmas. From today (Friday, 9 December), 132 square kilometres will be open to Neuron riders with Tuggeranong and Weston Creek joining the riding area and connecting people to the existing zones across Central Canberra, Belconnen, Gungahlin and Woden. With shared e-scooters now available across the entirety of our city, Canberrans can travel north to south and east to west using a range of shared paths and connecting links.

We are excited to extend the range of travel for riders in the city, while increasing the community’s access to safe, alternative and sustainable first and last mile transport options The expansion is set to be welcomed by local business within the new riding area after our recent national report, titled Shared Rides, Shared Wealth, revealed that two in three e-scooter journeys result in a purchase with a local business across Australia, with riders spending an average of $65 at local businesses per trip. 

Riders are encouraged to visit our industry-first, interactive online riding school ScootSafe Academy, developed in consultation with the Australian Road Safety Foundation which provides riders with city-specific e-scooter training materials and incentivised quizzes.
