This year’s Festive ScootSafe campaign raises awareness of the dangers of drink riding and encourages riders to plan ahead

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.”

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. Further leadership appointments will be announced in due course. The new company will be headquartered in Singapore.

Zachary Wang, CEO of Neuron Mobility, said: “We are excited to share our plans to bring together the strengths of both companies, creating a truly global e-scooter operator with a clear path to profitability. The combined company will leverage Neuron’s leadership in Australia and Canada, along with Beam’s strong presence in South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Turkey, while also unlocking new opportunities for growth.”

Alan Jiang, CEO of Beam Mobility, said: “The deal unlocks a wealth of exciting opportunities, allowing us to leverage the best of both companies. As well as strengthening our position in Australia and New Zealand, Beam’s large vehicle fleet and expertise in permit-based and emerging markets, combined with Neuron’s strong track record in tender-based markets, will provide a solid foundation for sustainable growth and international expansion.”

Deb Gangopadhyay, President of Beam Mobility, said: “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built at Beam over the past seven years. This merger unites two of the most innovative companies, and I’m excited to support the combined company as a strategic advisor. I’m also looking forward to shaping the future of our industry through leadership and collaboration with key organisations such as the Open Mobility Foundation.”

Existing Neuron Mobility investors, including Square Peg Capital and GSR Ventures, along with Beam Mobility’s investors, including Affirma Capital, Hana Ventures, and Peak XV Partners, will all take a stake in the new company.

In 2023 and 2024, our riders logged over 14.9 million trips, with 45% replacing car journeys and cutting more than 2,000 metric tonnes of CO2. We also launched our new N4 e-scooter made with 80% recycled aluminium, which is an industry first. As part of our sustainability efforts, we kept 99% of retired vehicles out of landfills by salvaging usable parts and partnering with recyclers on second-life projects.

Safety and smooth integration into cities remain our top priorities. We introduced our Augmented Reality (AR) Parking Assistant which improves parking compliance, while ScootSafe Vision system uses AI-powered cameras to detect footpath riding and alert riders to pedestrians. We also strengthened collaborations with important safety and community organisations to drive further safety improvements.

Neuron’s commitment to accessibility and inclusion is stronger than ever. Our Bridging the E-Scooter Gender Gap Report explored adoption differences between men and women, while research found that 5% of our riders have a disability or mobility impairment—many using e-scooters to travel more often and further than the average rider. Through our Neuron Access Program, veterans, front-line workers, jobseekers, and those with mobility issues and disabilities continue to benefit from free or discounted passes.

Giving back is very important to us, and we support a range of community groups and charities. In Australia, we partnered with Launch Housing to offer free rides to staff and guided tours to raise awareness about homelessness. In Canada, we teamed up with Lake Ridge Community Support Services (LRCSS) to make e-scooters more accessible for neurodivergent communities. Many other city-level initiatives continue to make a meaningful impact.

The report also highlights leadership in action. In 2024, our CEO Zachary Wang was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year Singapore, recognising his leadership, work ethic, and Neuron’s mission to partner with cities to connect people and places in a safe, convenient, and fun way.
