An extra 250 electric scooters will soon be operating on Brisbane streets after the council awarded tenders to Lime and Singaporean company Neuron Mobility.
Neuron Mobility will operate 600 generation-two scooters in the city, with improved safety features and ‘geo-fencing,’ which prevents them being ridden in areas such as South Bank.
Lime spokesman Nelson Savanh says the company recorded more than 1 million rides on its scooters in their first six months in Brisbane, with 46 per cent of trips replacing a private car, taxi or ride-share.
