Our distinctive orange e-scooters will remain in Bundaberg and Bargara for another 12 months following a permit extension from Bundaberg Regional Council. Neuron’s safety-first e-scooters have been operating in Bundaberg since April 2021 and have been embraced by the community. 

Since launching, our riders have racked up close to 800,000 kilometres eliminating an estimated 56 tonnes of CO2 by providing an alternative to short car trips. E-scooters have proven to be a popular form of transport over the 12 months, with two riding area expansions and the addition of 75 e-scooters in September 2021, bringing the total number of e-scooters in the region to 325. 

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. Our rider survey has shown e-scooters are boosting the local economy, 62% of rides resulted in a purchase at a business, and 24% of trips wouldn’t have happened at all if the e-scooters weren’t available.

We look forward to continuing to support the city to scoot to their favourite local spots in a safe, convenient and fun way!

This NAIDOC Week, we are delighted to partner with and Aboriginal not-for-profit organisation Killara Foundation to celebrate Australian First Nations cultures at an e-scooter workshop for Killara staff and program participants in Melbourne.  

Killara is an Aboriginal not-for-profit organisation at the heart of creating sustainable employment pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia since 2019.  Through our partnership with Killara we will be providing 50 program participants and staff with unlimited, free Neuron rides in Melbourne. By increasing transport options in the city, we hope to help remove employment barriers for those within the Killara program. 

Our NAIDOC Week event and e-scooter workshop ensures program participants are ready to ride e-scooters safely. The event also celebrates Aboriginal First Nations cultures with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony as well speeches from Killara Board Director, Ian Hamm.

Starting today, our distinctive orange e-scooters will be available to ride across more areas in Rockhampton. The expanded riding area will mean residents will be able to travel from the Rockhampton City Centre to surrounding suburbs including Berserker, Frenchville, Kawana and West Rockhampton.

Riders will be able to travel from Rockhampton CBD to more residential areas, with access to the popular Yaamba Road and Park Avenue shopping precincts. Our expanded riding area also offers a valuable connection for students and staff travelling to Central Queensland University.

Since first launching in February 2022 our e-scooters have been embraced by locals and tourists alike, with close to 200,000kms travelled in the city. Our recent survey found that 98 per cent of users believe Neuron has created a positive impact for the city. The average trip length in the city is 2.4km, an impressive 54 per cent of all trips replaced a car journey, and 19 per cent of trips wouldn’t have happened at all if the e-scooters weren’t available. 

Thank you for riding with Neuron and we look forward to playing a bigger part in your daily commute!

Our e-bike riding area is expanding in Sydney with an additional 50 e-bikes added to our safety-first fleet! The riding area will increase by 18 square kilometres through Sydney’s Inner West suburbs including Marrickville, Newtown, Stanmore, Petersham, Dulwich Hill, Leichhardt, Annandale, Lilyfield. and Rozelle.

As part of the new riding area, those commuting in the city will have more ways to connect to Sydney’s light rail and train stations, also offering access to more residential areas, popular shopping precincts, King George Park on the Rozelle foreshore and Leichhardt’s iconic Italian Forum. Our expansion also brings a valuable connection for students and staff travelling to The University of Sydney.

Since first hitting the streets in April, thousands of Sydney-siders have embraced our e-bikes as part of their daily commute.  The average e-bike journey is 2.2km, with trips from the CBD to Green Square and Sydney University, as well as Bondi and Coogee beaches being the most popular routes. With the state set to begin e-scooter trials this year, the strong e-bike usage is a promising sign for the future of e-scooters.

Thank you for riding Neuron in Sydney and we look forward to helping you travel further on your daily commute!

Since expanding our service area in Townsville earlier this year, more festival goers than ever before can ride Neuron to NAFA. The city’s month-long fringe festival is set to attract both locals and tourists alike, bringing a welcome boost to the local economy. 

During the NAFA, Neuron riders will benefit from priority parking at key festival locations including at the Tropic SoundS main entrance at Reid Park, NAFA Festival Hub main entrance at Jezzine Barracks on Jezzine Way east and NAFA Festival Hub entrance two at the corner of Isley Street and Mitchell Street. Riders who park in Neuron’s preferred parking locations will receive credits towards their next ride. 

With large crowds expected, Neuron anticipates a mix of new and existing riders to take up the service. To support riders throughout the festival, roving safety ambassadors will be deployed at key festival locations. Our team will also be holding in person #ScootSafe events with the opportunity for riders to visit our team, take a short safety briefing and earn a free $5 credit towards their next ride – that’s about 10 minute of free scooting!

 We have also teamed up with the cast of Rouge to remind riders how they can ride and park responsibly, check out their key safety tips in the below video. This video will be supported by a range of in-app messages to riders reminding them to wear a helmet, don’t drink and ride, and to always park responsibly at the end of their trip.
