Our e-scooter riding area is expanding to include more places across Bundaberg. The expansion will be supported by an additional 75 e-scooters and give access to the growing commercial precinct around Johanna Boulevard and Enterprise Street, as well as 3km further along the Bargara coastline to Burnett Heads.

The new riding areas will provide access to more local businesses and popular destinations including Kalki Moon Distillery and the Shalom Markets. Tourists will also gain a car free option when travelling from accommodation in Bargara to the Bundaberg Port Marina, to visit the Southern Great Barrier Reef. During Turtle Breeding season Neuron will work closely with Mon Repos Turtle Centre to ensure the turtle’s environment remains as is. This will mean the gates on either side of the centre will close from 6 pm – 6 am each night until the end of March.

Since first hitting the streets in April 2021 Neuron’s e-scooters have travelled close to 500,000 kilometres, eliminating an estimated 37 tonnes of CO2 by providing an alternative to short car trips. Since doubling the e-scooter riding area in September2021 trips have increased by 80% with many suburban residents using e-scooters as part of their daily commute.  The average e-scooter journey is 2.6km, trips along the Bargara Esplanade proving to be the most popular route, and Bundaberg Central being another hot spot for riders to start and end their rides.  

We thank Bundaberg Regional Council and the community for their continued trust and support, and look forward to playing a bigger part in their daily commute!
