E-scooter company, Neuron, a brand that has scooters across Brisbane, has implemented a raft of new safety features on their device in a trial intended to improve safety.
This comes after calls from the QLD ambulance service raised issues surrounding members of the public sustaining injuries during the use of e-scooters.
Features added to the bikes throughout the trial include: detecting erratic driving and implementing warnings or even ban riders if they persist, advanced tracking software that will detect within 5-10 meters where the bike is, and deactivating the bike in no-ride/go-slow zones.
The trial is expected to last 6 months.
