Neuron’s distinctive orange e-scooters will soon be arriving in Western Australia! We have been selected to operate the first ever rental e-scooter programme in The City of Stirling, located in metropolitan Perth. It will be part of a 12-month trial which is due to start in early 2022. 

This marks our first location in Western Australia since amended regulations supporting e-scooters came into effect on 4 December. We were selected for our strong track record of partnering with councils, and for our leadership in safety and innovation. Neuron will invest significantly into the city, creating approximately 30 jobs which will be 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 Australia’s first – and only – third party rider liability insurance for e-scooters, in a move to protect and reassure riders as well as the wider community. We look forward to partnering with the City of Stirling to deliver a safe, convenient and environmentally-friendly service!

Our distinctive safety orange e-scooters are set to seamlessly join the lives of Tasmanians on their daily commute. A first for the state, the 12-month trial will see Hobart and Launceston roll-out rental e-scooter operations from 17 and 18 December respectively, making micromobility and its many benefits more accessible to the community.

Hobart will host a fleet of 300 Neuron e-scooters on the streets, covering a large area including Hobart City, Cornelian Bay, Mount Stuart, Glebe, Battery Point and Sandy Bay. In Launceston, 200 e-scooters will cover Launceston City, Newstead, Elphin, Invermay, Mowbary and Newham. Neuron will invest significantly into the state, creating over 50 locally sourced jobs across the two cities. 

Both cities will benefit from a new, safe, convenient and environmentally-friendly way to travel, as well as a range of pioneering safety innovations. These include 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 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 three-day (AU$25), weekly (AU$33), or monthly (AU$45) 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. This will result in no additional unlocking fees and savings of up to 96%.

We look forward to partnering with the City of Hobart and City of Launceston to deliver a safe and efficient service.

Neuron’s safety-first e-scooters will be available on the streets of Ballarat from tomorrow, making it the first e-scooter programme in the state of Victoria! The 12-month trial will see a 250-strong fleet of Neuron’s e-scooters deployed in a 25 square kilometre riding area, covering the Ballarat Central, Ballarat North, Lake Wendouree, Eureka Golden Point and Redan. 

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.

New riders can download our user-friendly app, from the App Store or Google Play and set it up in a matter of minutes. A solo trip will cost AUD$1 to unlock the e-scooter and then 45 cents per minute. Our subscription service, Neuron Passes, is also available for frequent riders in three-day (AUD$25), weekly (AUD$33), or monthly (AUD$45) options. Users can ride to their hearts’ content for up to 90 minutes per day for an affordable price, generating savings of up to 96%.

We look forward to providing locals and tourists in Ballarat with a safe, convenient and socially-distanced way to travel!

From today, our riding area in Brisbane is being expanded, with Neuron’s distinctive orange e-scooters now incorporating the bayside suburbs of Wynnum, Manly, Sandgate and Shorncliffe. With summer coming, these trials will give residents and visitors more options to move around the city and experience the best of Brisbane.

The new areas will provide access to the Manly’s scenic beachfront path, Waterloo Bay Hotel, Wynnum Wading pool and multiple cafes. Riders will also be able to access the popular Shorncliffe scenic path and the Shorncliffe Jetty.

Since arriving on the streets of Brisbane in 2019, our e-scooters have been embraced by locals and tourists alike, racking up over 5.5 million kms.  The expanded riding area will support tourism and connections to public transport and is set to be welcomed by businesses located within the new zones.

We thank the Brisbane City Council and the community for their ongoing support, and look forward to playing a bigger part in their daily commute!
