• No go zone outside clubs, more speed restrictions implemented for Neuron eScooters

OPTIONS for commuting into the Darwin CBD from the northern suburbs have increased with Neuron expanding its e-scooter riding area to Fannie Bay from Monday.

Neuron’s e-scooters will be available to ride across more areas in Darwin from Monday, with riders able to travel from the city centre out to Fannie Bay.

The expanded area will provide access to popular Darwin destinations including, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin Ski, Sailing and Trailer Boat Clubs, Bundilla Beach and Fannie Bay shops.

Neuron e-scooters will be available in more areas in Darwin with the service expanding out to Fannie Bay from May 31.

The expansion complements Neuron’s e-bike program which allows riders to continue their journey further, to suburbs including Nightcliff and Casuarina to support longer commutes.

It will also provide a better connection for e-scooter riders to public transport options.

Neuron Mobility regional manager Richard Hannah said their e-scooters have already racked up over 1.5 million kilometres since first launching in Darwin in January 2020.

The expanded riding area is set to be welcomed by businesses located within the new zone.

Gavan Keane, owner of Saltwater@Bundilla cafe, said he was excited that tourists and locals will now be able to reach his venue on e-scooters.

“We are right on the coastal bike path in Fannie Bay and a great place to eat, look at the ocean, and go for a scoot!” he said.

“We are sure the expansion will help us to increase foot traffic to our cafe, as it has done for so many Darwin businesses.”

A recent survey found that 90 per cent of users believe Neuron has created a positive impact for Darwin and 78 per cent of rides resulted in a purchase at a local business.
