Neuron’s most advanced fleet of e-scooters have hit the streets!

The new technology helps to solve the main concerns in cities: controlling where e-scooters can be parked and where they can be ridden

Last November, Neuron announced a global technology trial in Australia, Canada, and the UK, where e-scooters were fitted with a revolutionary new ‘e-scooter brain’. This combined three new, important technologies – High Accuracy Location Technology (HALT), Rapid Geofence Detection, and Dangerous Riding Detection.

This year, after extensive, real-world testing, Ottawa has become the first city in the world where Neuron has fully implemented these innovations across an entire fleet of e-scooters.

What does this mean for riders and the council? 

Using these technologies, Neuron can provide high-accuracy geofencing of riding and low-speed zones, designate precise, smart parking locations, and also detect and control pavement riding in real-time. This gives councils more control over e-scooter programmes and together with consistent rider education, keeps the streets safer for all.

At Neuron, safety is at the heart of all we do and this has guided our decisions to invest in safety innovation from the start. Our e-scooters are designed in-house and optimised for shared operations. Having full control of the design and manufacturing process allows us to quickly test and implement new technologies that answer to the specific needs of the cities we partner. 

Of course, safety innovation is one piece of the puzzle to a successful e-scooter programme. To learn about what we do for rider education, click here.
