Neuron will operate its patented commercial N3 scooters, which have 12-inch tyres and a 21 centimetre-wide floorboard to provide more stability and comfort 

Singapore startup Neuron Mobility has announced that it has been selected by Brisbane City Council to operate a majority of its 600 e-scooters in the capital city of Queensland.

The company said in a press release that it beat nine other global and local operators, including California-based Lime Scooters (which will operate the remaining 400 devices in the city) to win this partnership.

The e-scooter addition is a part of the Brisbane Clean, Green, Sustainable 2017-2031 initiative, the city’s efforts to improve its sustainability.

Neuron Mobility said that it will operate its patented commercial N3 scooters, making Brisbane the first city to experience the commercial-grade version of the vehicle — along with Darwin City which has partnered with Neuron for a 12-month trial programme.

The N3 scooter is developed with 12-inch tyres and a 21 centimetre-wide floorboard to provide more stability and comfort to riders, claims the company. It also features a GPS-enabled parking indicator on the handlebar display to help guide riders to designated parking zones.

Neuron has a dedicated operations team on-ground that handles daily maintenance, hourly demand rebalancing, and battery swapping of the scooters so they will have a consistent supply and to allow responsible parking.

“We believe that there’s an ongoing paradigm shift in urban transportation that will shape the future of mobility. This partnership with Brisbane City Council is in line with our goal to bring the best micromobility services to the Asia Pacific region,” said Zachary Wang, CEO of Neuron Mobility.

Recently, the company also tied up with Payap University in Chiang Mai, Thailand to promote the use of clean energy mobility solutions.
