Rockhampton’s first e-scooter programme, due to start on Thursday February 24, will see a fleet of 300 safety-first e-scooters available to hire throughout the city, including Rockhampton CBD, Depot Hill Wandal, Allenstown and Park Avenue. Our arrival is set to be welcomed by the city, creating a new safe and convenient way to travel between North and South Rockhampton while investing into the city creating 25 jobs, recruited locally. 

Over the launch Neuron will be hosting a series of ‘ScootSafe’ briefings, Safety Ambassadors will be assisting new riders with signing up to Neuron’s user-friendly app, and educating riders on top safety guidelines for riding e-scooters. ScootSafe events will be on:

• • Thursday, February 24, 11am – 3pm, Denham Street
  • Saturday 26th February, 12pm – 5pm, Rockhampton Aquatic Centre
  • Saturday, March 5, 12pm – 5pm, Kershaw Gardens
  • Saturday, March 12, 12pm – 5pm, Fitzroy River Walk. 

Neuron’s operations team will be on the ground 24/7 sanitising e-scooters and helmets to keep them clean and germ-free. They will be using hospital-grade disinfectant, approved by The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), to kill a broad range of bacteria and viruses including COVID-19. 

Our latest and safest N3 e-scooters are purpose-built for safety and rental. They are equipped with a range of pioneering safety innovations, including the world’s first app-controlled helmet lock, securing a helmet to every e-scooter in between trips; geofencing control; topple detection; a 000 emergency button; voice guidance to educate and warn riders on how to ride safely; and a “Follow my Ride” function, and more. 

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. More frequent users have the option to purchase Neuron Passes, a subscription service, available in one-day, three-day, weekly, or monthly options. The packages will allow users to ride as many times as they want for up to 90 minutes per day for a fixed affordable price and no additional unlocking fee. 

Neuron e-scooters land in the City of Stirling from tomorrow, Wednesday 15 February. The launch marks the beginning of the city’s first rental e-scooter programme, which will see the gradual roll-out of 250 purpose-built Neuron e-scooters.

Our e-scooter fleet will cover a 26 square kilometre riding area including Watermans Bay, Scarborough, Trigg, Karrinyup, and Innaloo. We look forward to making our first deployment in Western Australia, partnering with the local Council to deliver a safe and convenient service to help people move around the city, also boosting the local economy with 25 jobs, recruited locally.

Western Australia joins the likes of Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, ACT, South Australia and Northern Territory, who are successfully running Neuron operations across numerous cities. Riders in the City of Stirling will continue to benefit from our third party rider liability insurance for e-scooters, protecting and reassuring riders as well as the wider community. 

The Neuron fleet will launch with a range of world-first safety features and pioneering innovations, including an app-controlled Helmet Lock that releases at the start of your ride and voice guidance to educate and inform riders. Riders will also benefit from a Follow My Ride feature; a 000 emergency button; topple detection and Geofencing technology.

We’re excited to announce that our safety-first e-scooters will be hitting the streets of Unley from Monday, 14 February. Neuron’s e-scooter riding area will expand to include Adelaide’s inner-southern suburbs including; Everard Park, Black Forest, Goodwood, Hyde Park, Kings Park, Unley Park, Highgate, Fullarton, Wayville and Parkside. 

The expansion into Unley is set to be welcomed by the city, with our e-scooters taking riders further, and more extensively, between the CBD and surrounding areas. Locals will be able to experience our latest and safest N3 e-scooters, which have already been a proven success in Adelaide CBD, Charles Sturt, West Torrens and Port Adelaide Enfield. 

The fleet will launch with a range of world-first safety features and pioneering innovations as seen in other South Australian cities, including an app-controlled Helmet Lock that releases at the start of your ride and voice guidance to educate and inform riders. Riders will also benefit from a Follow My Ride feature; a 000 emergency button; topple detection and Geofencing technology to control the local riding area, parking locations and top speed.

Neuron has been selected to provide e-scooters in Rockhampton as part of a 12-month trial with Rockhampton Regional Council. From the end of February, 300 of Neuron’s purpose-built e-scooters will be available to ride in the city with a range of cutting-edge safety features.

Rockhampton will be the fourth city in Queensland to benefit from our industry-leading e-scooters, with successful operations already running in Brisbane, Townsville and Bundaberg. Our selection in the city follows a strong track record of partnering with councils and will continue to boost the local economy by creating approximately 25 jobs, recruited locally.

Riders will benefit from a range of pioneering safety innovations including: the world’s first app-controlled helmet lock which secures a helmet to every e-scooter in between trips; topple detection; a 000 emergency button; voice guidance to educate and warn riders on how to ride safely; and a ‘Follow my Ride’ function. Geofencing technology will also be used to control where e-scooters can be ridden and parked, and how fast they can travel.

Riders will also benefit from Neuron’s third party rider liability insurance for e-scooters, in a move to protect and reassure riders as well as the wider community. The provision of third party rider liability insurance goes well beyond what is required by law and further demonstrates Neuron’s commitment to operating in the safest, most responsible way.
