May 16, 2023 - Neuron Mobility has officially launched an e-scooter and e-bike rental system in Waterloo Region, with up to 500 e-scooters and 500 e-bikes available for rental until the end of October.
“The new e-scooter and e-bike share program will transform how people move throughout the city. The program leverages our investments in trail upgrades, bike lanes, and the Downtown Kitchener cycling grid,” said Berry Vrbanovic, City of Kitchener Mayor. “In addition to giving people more transportation options, the program has the potential of helping us meet our climate action goals and reduce traffic congestion by replacing car trips with other modes of transportation.”
There are 40 parking stations located in the City of Kitchener, with plans underway to add more stations and expand the service area. On the first Saturday in May, ridership was already over 2,000 trips in Waterloo Region. Collectively, Waterloo Region residents have traveled 50,000 km in the first few weeks of operation.
Riders can download Neuron’s mobile app from the App Store or Google Play and get set up to ride in a matter of minutes. The app can also be used to locate available vehicles.
