Riders in Calgary rejoice! There is now a new transportation option to get from the Peace Bridge to the Saddledome and everywhere in between in a safe and sustainable way: Neuron’s safety-first e-bikes are launching on June 1!

Calgary has become the latest Canadian city to offer Neuron’s e-bikes, which have been designed with the same laser focus on safety that Neuron brings to its e-scooters. Neuron’s e-bikes are an exciting addition for a rider community that has already embraced Neuron’s e-scooter service. Since the company’s launch in Calgary in 2021, Neuron e-scooter riders have travelled over 780,000 kilometres in the city. 

Riders can now choose between these two modes based on preference and/or length of trip. The e-bikes also present another environmentally-friendly transportation alternative in Calgary, further reducing the reliance on cars for short trips. 

A 2021 Neuron survey of Calgary riders revealed how e-scooters are getting Calgarians out of their cars, with half (50%) of all e-scooter trips in the city replacing a car journey.

Neuron e-bikes are GPS-connected and geofenced to control where they can be ridden and parked, as well as how fast they can travel. 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 a helmet to the e-bike in between trips; topple detection; 911 emergency button; voice guidance to educate and warn riders on how to ride safely; and a ‘Follow my Ride’ function that allows riders to share their trip online with friends and family in real-time for added safety and peace of mind. 

E-bike riding is allowed on bike lanes, multi-use pathways, and roads with a speed limit of 50km/h or lower. Calgary riders, who must be at least 18 years of age, can book an e-bike with the easy-to-use Neuron App for the same price as an e-scooter.
