We introduced our e-scooters into Melbourne in February 2022 as part of the Victorian Government’s shared e-scooter trial, which included the City of Melbourne, City of Yarra and City of Port Phillip. Within months of launching, adoption rates skyrocketed, and Melbourne was recognised as Australia’s leading city for e-scooters, as well as one of the world’s busiest micromobility cities.

Our latest report, Unlocking the Potential of Rental E-Scooters in Melbourne, explores Neuron trip data, rider demographics, and key insights into the economic benefits e-scooters bring to the city. It also examines how e-scooters bolster existing transport networks for residents as well as visitors to Melbourne.

Looking ahead, the report provides key recommendations to enhance safety and accessibility in future e-scooter programs which will be particularly important as we look to expand rental e-scooter services to more cities across Greater Melbourne.

Some highlights from the report are below.
