Merger Completes, Solidifying Asia-Pacific’s Leading Micromobility Operator

SINGAPORE, 22 September, 2025 — Neuron Mobility and Beam Mobility have completed their merger, bringing together two Singapore-headquartered micromobility leaders. The combined company, Neuron Mobility Holdings, forms one of the world’s top shared e-scooter operators and the clear market leader in the Asia-Pacific region.

The new company will operate around 100,000 e-scooters across 100 cities worldwide, leveraging Neuron’s leadership in Australia and Canada together with Beam’s strong presence in South Korea, Southeast Asia, Turkey, and the U.S.

The merger provides a solid platform for long-term growth, profitability, and continued innovation. Both the Neuron and Beam brands will remain, each focused on their strongest markets.

Zachary Wang, Global CEO of Neuron Mobility Holdings, said: “This merger marks an exciting new chapter. By combining our strengths, we can grow more efficiently and deliver safe, sustainable micromobility to even more riders. Most importantly, it allows us to work with more cities to advance their transport and sustainability goals, while also delivering significant benefits to the communities we serve.”

$100,000 in Free Rides Up for Grabs During Helmet Safety Awareness Week

Take the pledge, snap a selfie and ScootSafe – plus stand a chance to win $500!

Helmet Safety Awareness Week is back for its fifth year! From 22 to 28 September, we’re giving away up to $100,000 in free rides and rewards to riders who pledge to wear a helmet.

This year’s message is simple: “Take the pledge: wear a helmet, snap a selfie, and ScootSafe.”

Here’s how we are encouraging our riders to get involved:

  • Take the pledge: Use promo code HELMETPLEDGE to enjoy free e-scooter unlocks and 20% off every trip for 30 days.
  • Snap a helmet selfie: Earn up to 50c off each trip when you submit an in-app helmet selfie.
  • Meet our Safety Ambassadors: They’ll be out at popular hotspots rewarding helmet-wearers, sharing riding tips, and encouraging safe riding.
  • Win $500: Pledge, snap a selfie or complete a safety briefing for your chance to win a restaurant or city-break voucher.

Helmets are one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent serious injuries in the unlikely event of an accident. They are a legal requirement across Australia and in parts of Canada, and riders caught without one risk police fines. Wherever you are, we encourage everyone to wear one — it’s the safest choice and the reason every Neuron e-scooter comes with a helmet.

So join us this week, take the pledge, and help keep yourself and your city safe.

SINGAPORE, 2 July, 2025 — Leading international e-scooter operators Neuron Mobility and Beam Mobility have signed a preliminary agreement as they work towards a merger that will solidify their micromobility leadership in Asia Pacific. The merger of the two Singapore-headquartered companies will bring together strong industry expertise, laying a solid foundation for profitability, scalable growth, and long-term success.

Completion of the transaction is expected within 60 days, subject to customary closing conditions.

The combined company will operate in over 100 cities and will retain both the Neuron and Beam brands, deploying each in their strongest markets. Neuron is a market leader in Australia and Canada, while Beam’s strong presence in South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Turkey, as well as their recent launch in the U.S., unlocks exciting new opportunities.

Neuron Mobility’s co-founder and CEO, Zachary Wang, will lead the combined company as Chairman and Global CEO. He will be supported by Beam Mobility’s CEO and co-founder, Alan Jiang, who will become the CEO of Asia. Beam’s President, and fellow co-founder, Deb Gangopadhyay, will become a strategic advisor while shaping the industry with groups like the Open Mobility Foundation.

Neuron launches seated e-scooter in Brisbane to improve accessibility

Neuron launches seated e-scooter in Brisbane to improve accessibility

Our seated N4 is expected to appeal to a wider range of demographics, allowing more riders to enjoy the benefits of e-scooters.

The first of up to 500 of our new seated N4 e-scooter launches today. Sharing many of the same features as our flagship N4 model, which first launched on Brisbane’s streets in December 2023 the seated N4 is enhanced to improve comfort and accessibility. It includes a padded seat, a shorter handlebar stem, and a lower centre of gravity to provide better ergonomics, greater stability, and a smoother, more enjoyable ride — especially on longer trips.

These features are designed to appeal to a wider range of riders, including those with reduced mobility and some people who may have previously been reluctant to use the city’s rental e-scooter service. Our market research also suggests it will attract more first-time riders, who may find the seated design more intuitive and less intimidating than traditional stand-up models — particularly for those who have experience riding bicycles.

With 5% of our Australian riders identifying as having a disability or mobility impairment, we’re thrilled that more people from these groups will now have the opportunity to experience the benefits of Brisbane’s world-class rental e-scooter service.

Neuron Raises Awareness of ‘Dooring’ During Road Safety Week

Neuron Raises Awareness of ‘Dooring’ During Road Safety Week

We are also demonstrating how simple actions from drivers, as well as riders can help make the streets safer for everyone

This Road Safety Week (12–18 May), Neuron is partnering with our safety partners, including the Australian Road Safety Foundation (ARSF), to raise awareness of a major hazard for riders—“dooring.” This occurs when a car door is suddenly opened into a rider’s path, which can lead to serious accidents.

Research reveals that in some of the countries where we operate, nearly 60% of cyclists have experienced a car door opening in their path, and 35% of drivers admit they don’t always check before opening their doors. These preventable incidents highlight the importance of simple actions, like drivers checking mirrors and blind spots, to ensure everyone’s safety.

Our latest findings in Australia also show our riders’ top safety concerns:

  • 44% worry about cars suddenly opening doors

     

  • 36% are anxious about cars overtaking too fast or closely

     

  • 35% fear potholes and poor road surfaces

Simple actions—like drivers checking before opening a car door, giving riders space when overtaking, and avoiding sudden movements—can prevent life-changing accidents. Riders also have a role to play: wearing helmets, staying visible, riding predictably and giving cars plenty of space can all help reduce the risk of incidents.

The campaign will run throughout Road Safety Week, featuring educational materials, rider and driver awareness campaigns on social media, and community engagement initiatives. For more information on safe riding and responsible driving, visit www.ScootSafe.com or follow the campaign on social media.

Top tips for e-scooter riders
  • Stay Visible – Wear bright gear and use lights, especially at night. Neuron’s ‘safety orange’ e-scooters are designed to stand out to other road users, but do your part as well.
  • Follow the Rules, Wear a Helmet – Stick to the road rules, use bike lanes whenever possible, and remember a helmet is your best defence against serious injury.
  • Be Predictable and Extra Wary of Motor Vehicles – Ride with confidence, but avoid sudden swerves, and always keep a door-width distance from parked vehicles.
