Our distinctive orange e-scooters have officially hit the streets of Hamilton. Working closely with Hamilton City Council, geofencing technology is being used to control the riding area and create dedicated parking zones and no-go zones in specific areas across the city to improve safety.

Riders will benefit from a range of world-first safety features and pioneering innovations on both the e-scooters and e-bikes, including: 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; 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 NZD$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 (NZD$25), weekly (NZD$33), or monthly (NZD$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%.

See you soon in Hamilton!
