Neuron Mobility's got the smartest e-scooters

Neuron Mobility

Scoot over for Singapore's Neuron Mobility! They're an e-scooter and e-bike sharing startup that's zooming ahead after raising a $43.5M Series B!

Who cashed in? GSR Ventures and Square Peg co-led the round. Oh, and Singapore's EDBI also joined in.

🛴  Like my ride?

They've got two EVs, an electric scooter and an electric bike. Find one through their app and scoot anywhere!

  • Quit your short car rides and commutes for an easy (and literally breezy) ride — maybe even take one for a fun ride around town.

🧠  Smart scooters

They're jam-packed with Neuron's latest tech for safer and sustainable rides. (Oh, and so you don't accidentally become a rule-breaker!)

  • They know which areas are no-ride and no parking zones and even automatically go low speed near places like schools.

Ride safe, get rewards! Submit your helmet selfie before you start riding and park in preferred parking — you'll get credits for their ride.

They even talk. Safety first! Their multilingual voice guidance even reminds riders to use a helmet, park safely and let them know they're near the boundary of the riding area.

If you fall... They won't catch you, but they'll know and can automatically call emergency services.

Baddie alert. They can detect when you're driving unsafely in-real time, profile unsafe riders and educate and correct proper riding behavior.

🙌🏼  In it for the long-term!

Slowly but surely. They may not have the most locations, but they're building in highly regulated (aka, tougher) markets. The goal? Win long-term contracts with cities that only pick the best one or two operators.

  • These are more sustainable, cause less competition and can promote profitability and more acceptance (and adoption) of bike-sharing.

⚡️ What's next?

With the $$$, they're doubling down on their tech and expanding to new cities globally.
