Neuron e-scooters are heading to Auckland’s North Shore!

An additional 200 safety-first e-scooters are now available to rent in the North Shore.

From Friday August 6 Neuron’s e-scooters will be available to ride across more areas in Auckland, with riders able to travel from the City Centre out to North Shore. The expanded area will provide access to popular North Shore beaches, cafes and shopping precincts including Cheltenham Beach, Takapuna Markets and Victoria Road’s cafes and shops.

The expansion will offer our e-scooters as a first and last-mile transport for our riders to and from Auckland’s Ferry service, increasing the range of travel while enabling more people to visit the North Shore. Neuron riders will be able to stop at the base of Mount Victoria and North Head, scoot around Lake Pupuke and visit the Royal New Zealand Navy Museum.

Our distinctive orange e-scooters have been also embraced by locals and tourists, racking up close to 700,000 kilometres since first launching in Auckland in January 2020. 

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 trip will cost NZ$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 (NZ$25), weekly (NZ$33), or monthly (NZ$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%.

We are back on Auckland’s streets for another 12 months!

Our distinctive orange e-scooters are back with a range of anti-viral measures to help keep them clean and safe

We are delighted to be back on Auckland’s streets from today, as the city enters alert level 2. Also we are excited to say that Neuron has been awarded a new licence to operate in the city for a further 12 months. The licence, which comes into effect on 4 September 2020, increases our e-scooter fleet from 880 to 930. 

We’ll be providing a clean, safe and efficient personal transport option, particularly for those people wishing to continue social distancing while traveling in the city. Riders can rest assured that a range of measures have been introduced to keep our e-scooters clean and to reduce the risks. This includes teams, sanitising around the clock, to make sure our e-scooters are germ-free!

Our latest and safest N3 e-scooters have been on Auckland’s streets since 10 January 2020. We’ve seen a range of benefits since our e-scooters were introduced, from helping tourists explore their city, to extending the range of locals so they can further support local businesses. This is crucial as Auckland continues its economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the restrictions on travel now relaxing, we’re all looking for ways to support local businesses, particularly hard-hit restaurants and cafes. Our e-scooters are the perfect way to regain freedom, while also staying local.

Despite the reduced risk, we recommend that all riders continue to sanitise their hands before and after touching foreign surfaces and this includes our e-scooters. Also if you feel unwell, please don’t take a trip, instead seek medical advice.

We look forward to seeing riders continuing to scoot around Auckland in a safe, convenient and fun way!

During the lockdown period we’ve been providing trips for our public-health heroes and other essential workers in Australia. This has allowed us to refine our operations in line with the evolving coronavirus threat. Our teams are armed with hospital-grade disinfectant designed to kill a broad range of bacteria and viruses including COVID-19.
