E-SCOOTERS are rolling out around Frankston as part of a four-month trial.

The scooter program is run by Neuron Mobility. It has deployed 75 e-scooters across the Frankston local government area.

Neuron Mobility also oversees the e-bike program running in the Frankston municipality. Its regional manager Yusuf Abdulahi said “we are delighted to have been chosen by the City of Frankston to provide our e-scooters as part of this trial and thank them for their trust and support. It is a wonderful location for e-scooters and they will provide a great way for locals as well as tourists to travel in a safe, convenient and environmentally-friendly way.”

“Safety is our top priority, it dictates our e-scooter design and also the way we operate them. Our e-scooters are packed with a range of cutting-edge safety and technology to control where our e-scooters are ridden and parked and the speed they can travel in different areas,” Abdulahi said.

Safety features on the e-scooter include geofencing control, helmets, a 000 button, voice guidance, and topple detection.

Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy said “if we can all do the right thing, by riding and parking safely, we can perhaps keep a few more cars off the roads, attract more visitors, and keep our lovely city moving.”

“The e-scooters and e-bikes offer a safe, convenient way to travel for residents and visitors, connecting people and places more easily and in a more sustainable way than motorised vehicles,” he said.

E-scooters and bikes can be unlocked using the Neuron app at a cost of 51 cents a minute, in addition to a $1 unlocking fee. Day passes are also available.
