THE latest addition of third party liability coverage for Neuron’s eScooters is a groundbreaking move.

It will ensure that not only riders but those who may be hit or have their belongings hit and damaged by an eScooter, aren’t out of pocket.

Neuron’s eScooters are fun and make life easier in the tropics but there have been plenty of nasty incidents and a lot of concern, from the public and from the legal industry.

The company has continually responded to pressure since their inception into the Darwin market 12 months ago, making their products as safe as possible and pushing users to be as safe, considerate and responsible as possible.

This has included restricting riding areas, offering discounts for future rides and even an in-app quiz to test users’ knowledge of the scooters.

But the third party insurance will have the greatest and safest impact of all their initiatives for riders.

All it could take is one nasty incident to see the streets stripped of the scooters and bikes.

Many nights have been ruined and while there’s no way to stop human errors, third party insurance will make sure any human errors made can be covered.

This means if and when these nasty incidents happen, a resolution can be found much more easily and hopefully without too much hassle for those involved.
