As we expand into new regions of the city, we anticipate uptake from a range of new and returning riders. With safety at the heart of everything we do, we are excited to launch an in person ScootSafe event at Gungahlin Place Park from 11:00am – 1:00pm today. The e-scooter training session is totally free and open to the public, riders are encouraged to come along, brush up on their e-scooter skills and earn free credits towards their next ride.

Canberrans unable to visit our Safety Ambassadors in person can visit our industry-first, interactive online riding school ScootSafe Academy, developed in consultation with the Australian Road Safety Foundation and designed to provide riders with city-specific e-scooter safety materials and incentivised training modules.

Since launching in December 2021, our e-scooters have been embraced by residents with over 300,000 kilometres travelled. Our rider research shows that 86% of users believe Neuron has created a positive impact for the city and an impressive 63% of all trips replaced car rides, eliminating an estimated 32 tonnes of CO2.  

As we expand safety remains our top priority. We encourage new and existing riders to try our new digital education platform, ScootSafe Academy to learn how to use our e-scooters in a safe and responsible way. Those who complete the safety quizzes and videos will also receive free credits towards their future rides. 

The festival welcomes artists from around the world,  Australia and the Northern Territory, with a particular emphasis on local artists, to create stunning works that brighten the streets of Darwin and make art accessible to all.  To further support the festival, Neuron will be providing free e-scooter passes to artists participating in the event.

Our safety-first e-scooters and e-bikes will provide a convenient, sustainable and fun way to explore the festival. DSAF attracts thousands of visitors each year and to promote the city, we have also partnered with local businesses, recommending to riders where to eat, shop and visit along the way.  In Darwin, our vehicles are boosting the local economy and reducing dangerous emissions with rider research showing that 78 per cent of rides resulte in a purchase at a business and an impressive 56 per cent of all trips replace a car ride. By partnering with DSAFl and a number of local retailers within the service area, we hope to continue to make a positive impact on the city.
