From tomorrow (21 January), our pedal-assisted e-bikes arrive on the streets of Frankston, available to hire across a 23 square kilometre district. The 12 month trial run by Frankston City Council marks the beginning of Victoria’s first Neuron-hosting e-bike rental scheme and follows the recent arrival of our e-scooters on the streets of Ballarat, Hobart and Launceston in mid-December.

Neuron’s distinctive orange e-bikes are already a success in Darwin, Adelaide and Brisbane, where they operate alongside Neuron e-scooters. The addition of micromobility in the community is set to make a positive impact, with the pilot scheme offering a safe, sustainable and socially-distanced way to travel, while boosting the local economy. 

Neuron e-bikes are GPS-connected and geofenced to control riding areas, parking spaces and top speed (up to 25kms in most areas). Riders will benefit from the same cutting-edge safety features brought over from our e-scooter technology, including the world’s first app-controlled helmet-lock that secures to the e-bike in between trips; topple detection; 000 emergency button; voice guidance to educate and warn riders on how to ride safely; and ‘Follow my Ride’ function.

Riders will be able to book and use the e-bikes through Neuron’s user-friendly app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play and set up in a matter of minutes. Standard Single trips will cost AU$1 to unlock the e-bike and 45 cents per minute thereafter. More frequent users have the option to purchase Neuron Passes, which allows users to ride for as little as $1.50 a day. They are available in three-day (AU$25), weekly (AU$33), or monthly (AU$45) options. The packages will allow up to 90 minutes per day for a fixed affordable price, with no additional unlocking fees and savings of up to 96%.
