From today (Saturday, 30 July) our safety-first e-scooters will be available to hire throughout Sydney’s Western Parklands over a three-month trial. We’re thrilled to partner with Transport for New South Wales and Western Sydney Parklands for the state’s much-anticipated e-scooter trials, which are expected to cover more cities over the coming months.

A fleet of 50 e-scooters will join Bungarribee Park, located behind the city’s iconic Sydney Zoo. Safety is at the heart of everything we do and we look forward to delivering a safe and efficient service for locals and visitors alike. Our e-scooters are packed with cutting-edge safety features, including the world’s first app controlled helmet lock, GPS tracking and geofences, a 000 Emergency Button and Voice Guidance. We know from experience in other cities that riders really appreciate this. 

As the only shared micromobility provider who operates in every Australian capital city, we are excited to see our e-scooters bring more benefits to more parts of the country and look forward to more cities in NSW commencing trials soon. Elsewhere, our rider research shows that 85% of users believe Neuron has had a positive impact on the city – citing sustainability, affordability and convenience as some of the driving factors. We also know that depending on the city, 40-60% of e-scooter trips replace car journeys and on average seven out of 10 trips result in a purchase, helping to boost local economies.

Riders will be able to book and use the e-scooters 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. Single trips will cost AU$1 to unlock the e-scooter and 45 cents per minute thereafter. Day passes will also be available for $15, which will allow riders to ride as much as they want with no additional unlocking fee.
