Neuron launches safety-first e-scooters in Brampton!

An initial fleet of our 250 e-scooters are now available to rent, covering key areas of Brampton’s neighbourhood

We are delighted to have been selected by the City of Brampton as part of the Greater Toronto Area’s first shared e-scooter program. From April 3, an initial fleet of our 250 safety-first e-scooters which are equipped with the industry’s most advanced e-scooter technology, will be rolled out to cover key areas of the neighbourhood including downtown Brampton, Gateway Terminal transit station, Sheridan College, Bramalea City Centre, Chinguacousy Park, and Brampton city centre.

Neuron partners with the Traffic Injury Research Foundation to promote e-scooter safety and research in Canada. Users can visit our online riding school, ScootSafe Academy, for their local riding rules and earn free credits for future rides. Our Safety Ambassadors will also be out in greater numbers during the launch period to equip new riders with the confidence to safely ride and park our e-scooters.

Neuron’s selection in the city is due to a strong track record of partnering with cities, and our leadership when it comes to safety and innovation. The City of Brampton will be our second launch in Ontario and seventh city in Canada. Our e-scooters help reduce car use and congestion, improve air quality, and according to our report, Shared Rides, Shared Wealth, each Neuron e-scooter enables spending of $11,300 at local businesses per year.

Our fleet will be fully equipped with High Accuracy Location Technology (HALT) and Rapid Geofence Detection (RGD) capabilities to detect and control sidewalk riding for high accuracy geofencing. Riders are required to follow the local parking guidelines and secure their e-scooter onto a pole or frame using the vehicle lock to end their trip.

Riders will also benefit from a range of pioneering safety innovations including: world’s first integrated helmets; voice guidance; topple detection; a 911 emergency button, and a ‘Follow my Ride’ function for added peace of mind. Advanced geofencing technology will also control where e-scooters are ridden and parked, and how fast they can travel in certain areas.

To ride a Neuron, simply unlock and use the e-scooters through our user-friendly app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play and set up in a matter of minutes.

Neuron returns to Lethbridge, Red Deer and Airdrie for the 2023 riding season!

Our e-scooters are back to provide our cities in Alberta with a safe, convenient and environmentally-friendly way to travel

We are thrilled to be back in Lethbridge, Red Deer and Airdrie for the 2023 riding season! From March 24, our distinctive orange e-scooters will be available throughout the city, providing both residents and visitors with safe access to an affordable and environmentally-friendly transport alternative. 

In 2022, our riders across Alberta – including Calgary which operated throughout winter – travelled over 2.5 million km, eliminating 185 tonnes of CO2 emissions since launching. The 2023 micromobility programs are also well placed to continue supporting Alberta’s economy with seven in 10 trips in Canada resulting in a purchase at a local business which amounts to an estimated $26 million spent each year.

To kickstart the new season, riders will also be reeducated on their local riding rules. Through our online ScootSafe Academy, those who take part in incentivized quizzes, videos and games can earn free credits for future rides. In an industry-first, the online safety school will also deliver targeted training modules to those who have broken the rules. 

Neuron’s e-scooters are equipped with a range of pioneering safety innovations including: world’s first integrated helmets; voice guidance; topple detection; a 911 emergency button, and a ‘Follow my Ride’ function for added peace of mind. Advanced geofencing technology will also control where e-scooters are ridden and parked, and how fast they can travel in certain areas.

Riders can book and use the e-scooters through Neuron’s user-friendly app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play and set up in a matter of minutes.

Through our online ScootSafe Academy, those who take part in incentivized quizzes, videos and games can earn free credits for future rides. In an industry-first, the online safety school will also deliver targeted training modules to those who have broken the rules. 

Neuron’s e-scooters are equipped with a range of pioneering safety innovations including: world’s first integrated helmets (it’s mandatory to wear one when riding an e-scooter in Vernon); voice guidance; topple detection; a 911 emergency button, and a ‘Follow my Ride’ function for added peace of mind. Advanced geofencing technology will also control where e-scooters are ridden and parked, and how fast they can travel in certain areas.

Our riders can expect to win great prizes while learning to ride safely and park responsibly this holiday season

With the year-end holidays soon upon us, we are spreading festive cheer across Australia, New Zealand and the UK while reminding our users to ride responsibly this Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Our festive safety campaign aims to build on the work of Road Safety Week, Helmet Safety Awareness Week, Freshers Week and many dedicated ScootSafe™ events in our cities this year.

Over the festive period, our vehicles are typically used by more people, some of whom may be less familiar with the local riding rules. Through a multi-channel campaign including social media, in-app messaging and our online riding school ScootSafe Academy, we will put the spotlight on the importance of wearing helmets and parking responsibly as well as reminders not to tandem ride or drink and ride. Who knows? ‘Safety Santa’ might make an appearance at one of our ScootSafe events!

Lots of fantastic prizes are also up for grabs as part of our 12 Days of Christmas #NeuronXmasGiveaway happening on our Instagram pages! Neuron riders can stand to win free monthly passes, weekly passes and exclusive ride rewards for themselves and their friends. All they’ll have to do is follow us on our local Instagram pages and take part in our daily challenges from 13 to 24 Dec to qualify.
