Starting today, Neuron’s riding area in Dunedin is expanding to include Kaikorai Valley and the new Peninsula Connection shared path. The expanded area gives residents and visitors more options to move around the city, while supporting local tourism and businesses within the region.

The Kaikorai Valley riding zone will be made available to riders on an ongoing basis, offering greater access to Roslyn, Mornington and the whole length of Kaikorai Valley. Riders have the option to connect with great shops in the area or go up to Moana Pools and on to the city. 

Riders can also explore the new Peninsula Connection shared path, a popular trail for residents and visitors alike. The new scenic riding zone will be available for the summer season only, allowing riders to follow the harbour all the way from the City to Macandrew Bay. 

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

In partnership with Christchurch City Council, our safety-first e-scooters will hit the city’s streets starting 1 October, with e-bikes to follow later in the year. The permit will allow us to operate a total of 800 e-scooters and 200 e-bikes. 

Our latest and safest N3 e-scooters are purpose-built for safety and rental. They are equipped with a range of pioneering safety innovations, including the world’s first app-controlled helmet lock, securing a helmet to every e-scooter in between trips; geofencing control; topple detection; a 111 emergency button; voice guidance to educate and warn riders on how to ride safely; and a “Follow my Ride” function, and more. 

To mark the occasion, we are launching in Christchurch with 50% off weekday rides from 1-14 October. Riders are able to book and use the e-scooters through our app, with trips costing 50c to unlock (usually NZ$1) and 22c per minute thereafter (usually 45c). 

In October, Neuron Passes will also be heavily discounted, and are available in daily ($6.99 down from $9.99), three-day ($9.99 down from $14.99), weekly ($14.99 down from $19.99) or monthly ($30 down from $45) options. The pass enables users to ride as many times as they want for up to 90 minutes per day, resulting in savings of up to 96%.

Safety is at the heart of everything we do, and that is why we are New Zealand’s first — and only — operator to provide third party rider liability insurance for e-scooters and e-bikes. Hop onto our e-scooters for the safe, convenient and environmentally-friendly way to travel today!
