From today, our riding area in Brisbane is being expanded, with Neuron’s distinctive orange e-scooters now incorporating the bayside suburbs of Wynnum, Manly, Sandgate and Shorncliffe. With summer coming, these trials will give residents and visitors more options to move around the city and experience the best of Brisbane.

The new areas will provide access to the Manly’s scenic beachfront path, Waterloo Bay Hotel, Wynnum Wading pool and multiple cafes. Riders will also be able to access the popular Shorncliffe scenic path and the Shorncliffe Jetty.

Since arriving on the streets of Brisbane in 2019, our e-scooters have been embraced by locals and tourists alike, racking up over 5.5 million kms.  The expanded riding area will support tourism and connections to public transport and is set to be welcomed by businesses located within the new zones.

We thank the Brisbane City Council and the community for their ongoing support, and look forward to playing a bigger part in their daily commute!

Our EB-1 e-bike will be available to hire across the 23 square kilometre City of Frankston district, as part of a 12 month trial. While Frankston City Council is not a part of Victoria’s recently-announced e-scooter trials, the city recognises the many benefits of micromobility and welcomes e-bikes to the region. 

Frankston will be the first location in Victoria to host Neuron’s e-bikes, joining the successes of Darwin, Adelaide and Brisbane, where they operate alongside our e-scooters. Their introduction will support the city’s sustainability goals, providing riders with greater access to environmentally-friendly transport options, also boosting the local economy, creating around 15 jobs locally and the option to expand based on demand.

Neuron e-bikes are GPS-connected and geofenced to control riding areas, parking spaces and top speed (up to 25kms in most areas). Riders will benefit from the same cutting-edge safety features brought over from our e-scooter technology, including the world’s first app-controlled helmet-lock that secures to the e-bike in between trips; topple detection; 000 emergency button; voice guidance to educate and warn riders on how to ride safely; and ‘Follow my Ride’ function.

New riders can download our user-friendly app, from the App Store or Google Play and set it up in a matter of minutes. Standard Single trips will cost AU$1 to unlock the e-bike and 45 cents per minute thereafter. More frequent users have the option to purchase Neuron Passes, which are available in three-day (AU$25), weekly (AU$33), or monthly (AU$45) options. The packages will allow users to ride as many times as they want for up to 90 minutes per day for a fixed affordable price. This will result in no additional unlocking fees and savings of up to 96%.

From today, Moovit will show its users in real-time where Neuron vehicles are located nearby, offering commuters a safe micromobility service, alongside other public transport options. Through partnership and the integration of Neuron vehicles on the Moovit platform, we are better connecting Brisbanites with more alternative and convenient first and last mile options.

Neuron launched in Brisbane in August 2019 and our recent rider survey found an impressive 44% of all trips have replaced a car journey, eliminating an estimated 155 tonnes of Co2. Over the last few years Brisbanites have embraced micromobility and most now regard it as an essential transport option, however, many people still drive their private vehicles to connect with main transport hubs or drive directly to their destination.

That’s why Neuron and Moovit are partnering up to make micromobility services more accessible in Brisbane and ultimately take more cars off the road. We’re delighted to form this partnership and together work towards the common goal of better connecting the community with more safe, sustainable and convenient transport options.
