Neuron’s e-scooters clock up over 1.2 million kilometres in Canada!
20 December 2021
Service embraced by locals and benefiting cities
As 2021 comes to a close, we are thrilled to announce the completion of our successful first riding season in Canada. Our year end trip data shows exceptional program uptake, with Neuron riders having travelled over 1.2 million kilometers across our cities nationally.
We first entered the Canadian market in May 2021, quickly securing competitive permits in Ottawa, Calgary, Red Deer and Vernon. Since our launch earlier this year, Neuron e-scooters have helped tens of thousands of people get to where they need to be in a safe, convenient and environmentally friendly way.
Our e-scooter rental programs are helping to support local businesses, making measurable contributions to local economic recovery efforts. According to Neuron’s recent rider surveys, 80% of riders used Neuron e-scooters to visit local businesses and to explore cities, while 62% made a purchase from a local vendor during their most recent trip.
Our rider surveys also revealed that e-scooters are getting Canadians out of their cars in large numbers, supporting regional environmental sustainability efforts. Across our Canadian cities, 46% of all Neuron trips replaced a car journey, leading to an estimated 90 tonnes of CO2 emissions avoided this year alone.
Throughout the 2021 riding season safety remained front and centre. We announced several major safety initiatives and new technology innovations and held many #ScootSafe education events across all cities, directly engaging with thousands of people on local riding rules and best practices for e-scooter riding.
Thank you to our city partners and riders for an incredible first season in Canada!
