Neuron launches e-scooters and e-bikes in Coquitlam!

We have been selected to provide our safety-first vehicles in the City of Coquitlam as part of its pilot shared micromobility program

We have been selected by the City of Coquitlam to launch the city’s first e-scooter program. From June 29, the first of our 300 safety-first e-scooters and 100 e-bikes will be gradually rolled out to cover key areas of the neighbourhood including Coquitlam Town Centre, Eagle Ridge and Coquitlam Centre Mall.

Neuron partners with the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) to promote e-scooter safety and research in Canada. Users can visit our online riding school, ScootSafe Academy, for their local riding rules and earn free credits for future rides. Our Safety Ambassadors will also be out in greater numbers at key areas of the city to equip new riders with the confidence to safely ride and park our vehicles.

Neuron’s selection in the city follows a strong track record of partnering with cities, and our leadership and commitment to safety and innovation. Coquitlam is Neuron’s 17th Canadian city and second in British Columbia following the company’s launch in Vernon in July 2021. Neuron will invest significantly into the city, creating approximately 25 permanent and temporary jobs which will be recruited locally.

Riders will also benefit from a range of cutting-edge safety features including: world’s first integrated helmets (it is legal requirement to wear a helmet); voice guidance; topple detection; a 911 emergency button which detects if a rider has had a fall and then helps them call the emergency services via their smartphone, and a ‘Follow my Ride’ function for added peace of mind. Advanced geofencing technology will also control where e-scooters are ridden and parked, and how fast they can travel in certain areas.

To ride a Neuron, simply unlock and use the e-scooters through our user-friendly app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play and set up in a matter of minutes.

Neuron expands Lethbridge riding area at Indian Battle Park in the River Valley!

We’re excited that the expanded riding area will now cover a larger boundary of Lethbridge’s trail system

Neuron riders can now explore more of Lethbridge’s trail system at Indian Battle Park, as we expand our service area and unlock full access to the park’s paved trails. Riders will continue to have access to Helen Schuler Nature Centre and Fort Whoop-Up while enjoying a convenient and environmentally-friendly e-scooter ride.

To ensure safety, riders can use the expanded area along designated pathways and roadways, with a speed limit of 15 km/h in the Low Speed Zone. Neuron also introduces its new AR Parking Assistant technology, guiding riders to designated parking stations within the trail system, promoting responsible parking practices.

Since the launch of Lethbridge’s shared micromobility program, Neuron riders have traveled over 500,000 kilometers, and helped reduce an estimated 42 tonnes of CO2 emissions. Additionally, our riders actively contribute to Lethbridge’s economy, with over six in 10 e-scooter journeys resulting in purchases from local businesses, amounting to $3.2 million per year.

At Neuron, safety is at the heart of everything we do. Our e-scooters come equipped with cutting-edge features, including the world’s first app-controlled helmet lock, topple detection, a 911 emergency button, voice guidance, and a ‘Follow My Ride’ feature.

We look forward to seeing more locals and tourists hop on a Neuron e-scooter for a convenient and environmentally-friendly ride, while enjoying the great outdoors and scenery Lethbridge has to offer!

Neuron kickstarts 2023 riding season in Ottawa!

We are returning with a new Augmented Reality (AR) Parking Assistant feature to aid riders in ending their trips responsibly within designated parking stations

After a winter hiatus, Neuron’s safety-first e-scooters are back on Ottawa’s streets for the 2023 riding season! From May 18, e-scooters will be available throughout the city, providing Ottawa residents and visitors with safe access to a convenient and environmentally-friendly transport alternative. 

To kickstart the new season, riders will also be reeducated on their local riding rules. Through our online ScootSafe Academy, those who take part in incentivized quizzes, videos and games can earn free credits for future rides. In an industry-first, the online safety school will also deliver targeted training modules to those who have broken the rules. Neuron partners with the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) to promote e-scooter safety and research in Canada.

Neuron’s e-scooters are equipped with a range of pioneering safety innovations including: world’s first integrated helmets; voice guidance; topple detection; a 911 emergency button, and a ‘Follow my Ride’ function for added peace of mind. Advanced geofencing technology will also control where e-scooters are ridden and parked, and how fast they can travel in certain areas. We will also be launching Neuron’s new Augmented Reality (AR) Parking Assistant which will aid riders in ending their trips responsibly within designated parking stations conveniently located across the service area.

With locals and visitors clocking over 330,000km, 41% of trips have replaced car journeys, eliminating 22 tonnes of CO2 emissions to date. The 2023 micromobility program is also well placed to continue supporting Ottawa’s economy with seven out of 10 trips resulting in a purchase, which is on average $32 per trip while each e-scooter contributes $5,600 to local businesses per year.

To ride a Neuron, simply unlock and use the e-scooters through our user-friendly app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play and set up in a matter of minutes.
