Safety has always been our top priority and partnering with Brake New Zealand will help us further lead the way in rental e-scooter safety. The charity works with communities and organisations across the country to stop road deaths and injuries, and to support people bereaved and injured in crashes.

Together we will collaborate on and co-develop campaigns and activities that will promote rider safety in New Zealand. Brake will provide us with advice on our safety training materials for e-scooter riders, and also review and evaluate our e-scooter incident data in New Zealand so we can continue making our service as safe as possible.

As a safety-leading e-scooter operator, we’ve introduced an impressive number of innovations to help keep riders safe. These include the world’s first app-controlled helmet lock which secures a helmet to every e-scooter in between trips; topple detection; a 111 emergency button; voice guidance to educate and warn riders on how to ride safely; a ‘Follow my Ride’ function; and we pioneered the use of geofencing technology to control where e-scooters can be ridden and parked, and how fast they can travel.

We look forward to working with Brake to continue educating e-scooter riders and the wider public, to keep them safe and reduce incidents as much as possible.

Titled “Micromobility Safety and Innovation”, the collaboration brings together our world’s first app-controlled helmet lock and Studio Dummy’s innovative console box, a multi-purpose storage container custom-fitted for Neuron’s e-scooters. They are being displayed in Sangsu-dong as part of Project Rent II, an exhibition that shines a spotlight on innovations brought to life by mobility products.

Studio Dummy’s console boxes are made from Paperette, an eco-friendly material, and can safely store up to 2kg of goods when riding. Also designed for rental and safety, Neuron’s e-scooters are equipped with a range of pioneering features and safety innovations including topple detection, 119 emergency button, “Follow my Ride” feature and more.

As part of the project, twenty visitors will also get to enjoy a picnic each weekend. They will be provided Neuron e-scooters for a trip down to Seoul Forest where they can enjoy their console boxes fully-stocked with delicious food. Geofencing technology will be used to create a No Riding Zone within Seoul Forest to ensure the safety of both riders and pedestrians, but riding to the venue completely equipped for picnicking is quick and easy! Simply head over to the designated parking area to end your trip.

So stop by one of Seoul’s signature landmarks and go on a mobility-powered picnic this weekend!
