The Newcastle e-scooter trial has reached a two year milestone, which comes after a new agreement was made between Newcastle City Council and Neuron Mobility that extends it until May of 2024.
As part of this new agreement, several changes have been made to the service so it can continue to run smoothly and be more accessible to everyone, including transitioning to a new parking system and discounts to open it up to people on lower incomes.
Neuron have also revealed that people have ridden over a million miles on the e-scooters since the beginning of the trial in 2021, with tens of thousands of people making journeys on them to work, the shops or appointments.
