The first 350 of 500 e-scooters and 120 of 500 e-bikes are available to rent across riding areas including Uptown Waterloo, Victoria Park and Galt areas, according to a media release issued by Redbrick Communications.
Neuron Mobility announced the partnership with the Region of Waterloo earlier this month.
Riders are encouraged to visit Neuron’s online ScootSafe Academy for city-specific training to familiarize themselves with local riding rules.
Helmets are provided when using the rentals and wearing one is mandatory.
“Safety is our top priority,” said Ankush Karwal, head of market for Canada with Neuron Mobility. “It dictates our e-scooter and e-bike design, and also the way we operate them. Our vehicles are jam-packed with cutting edge safety features and we know from experience in other cities that riders really appreciate this.”
A full list of riding rules can be found on Neuron Mobility’s website.
