Neuron’s e-scooters and e-bikes will soon be hitting the streets of Hamilton! With a permit for 500 devices, the first of the fleet of e-scooters will be launching in July, along with e-bikes which will arrive later in the year. The fleet will be available to hire across the city, including Hamilton Central, Frankton, Dinsdale, Chartwell, Rototuna and Hamilton East, providing a safe, convenient and environmentally-friendly way to travel. 

Riders will benefit from a range of world-first safety features and pioneering innovations on both the e-scooters and e-bikes, including: the world’s first app-controlled helmet lock which secures a helmet to every e-scooter in between trips; topple detection; a 111 emergency button; voice guidance to educate and warn riders on how to ride safely; and a ‘Follow my Ride’ function. Geofencing technology will also be used to control where e-scooters can be ridden and parked, and how fast they can travel.

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

See you soon in Hamilton!

We have been awarded a new permit from Brisbane City Council to operate 1,000 e-scooters, increasing our fleet size by 10%. The new permit will also include 400 safety-first e-bikes which will be available from late July. Since launching in August 2019, our e-scooters have covered over four million kilometres, eliminating an estimated 295 tonnes of CO2 emissions. 

In partnership with the council, we have introduced a range of pioneering safety innovations including the world’s first app-controlled Helmet Lock to increase helmet availability, while reducing ‘helmet litter’. We’ve also pioneered a full suite of geofencing in the city, controlling where e-scooters are ridden and parked, and how fast they can travel in certain areas.

Our e-scooters and e-bikes will provide Brisbane residents with a multi-modal transport choice based on their preference and length of trip. Serving as an additional sustainable transport option, the pedal-assisted e-bikes are great for longer journeys as riders are able to travel faster on bike paths, footpaths, and low speed roads. 

Similar to our e-scooters, many other cutting-edge safety features will also be carried over to our e-bikes including: a 000 emergency button, voice guidance, topple detection and a “Follow my Ride” function. Users will be able to conveniently choose between both transport modes for the same price depending on their preference and types of journey through our user-friendly app.
