From 1 February, 750 of Neuron’s purpose-built e-scooters will be available in the City of Melbourne, City of Yarra and City of Port Phillip. This comes as Neuron’s third Victorian announcement after the launch of e-scooters in Ballarat in mid-December, and the launch of an e-bike trial in Frankston in January. Other cities in Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, ACT and Northern Territory are already benefiting from our industry-leading e-scooters, which help to significantly reduce congestion and emissions while boosting the local economy. 

Neuron riders will have access to Australia’s first  third party rider liability insurance for e-scooters, in a move to protect and reassure riders as well as the wider community. The provision of third party rider liability insurance goes well beyond what is required by law and further demonstrates Neuron’s commitment to operating in the safest, most responsible way. 

Our latest and safest next-generation e-scooters are also equipped with a range of pioneering safety innovations, including the world’s first app-controlled helmet lock, securing a helmet to every e-scooter in between trips; geofencing control; topple detection; a 000 emergency button; voice guidance to educate and warn riders on how to ride safely; and a “Follow my Ride” function and more. 

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.
