E-BIKES and e-scooters will be withdrawn from Frankston this week. A four month trial of the e-scooters was announced in May 2023. That trial was later extended, and is set to expire on 31 May. The e-scooters and e-bikes around Frankston are operated by Neuron Mobility.
In a statement, Frankston Council said it would review the trial to decide if it would move forward with a permanent offering. “Funded and delivered by Neuron Mobility, the trials have been helping council to better understand the role micro-transport can play in creating more connected, sustainable communities,” Frankston Council said. “Council will now review data from the trials, as well as the outcome of the Victorian Government’s e-scooter trial, before embarking on future e-bike and e-scooter partnerships.
“Council remains committed to fostering sustainable transportation options that benefit our community. Our e-bike and e-scooter charging stations will remain available for private vehicle use.”
