Beep has introduced a fleet of 250 e-scooters into the City of Greater Bendigo.
The Saturn 5 e-scooters, which were put into operation on 23 May, are available for hire between 5am and 11am, seven days a week.
In order to facilitate the units, high precision geofencing has been implemented to ensure riders remain inside the safe limits of operation throughout the city.
Beam’s Regional Operations Manager, Ned Dale said:We’re excited to be bringing our purple e-scooter fleet to the City of Greater Bendigo for the first time, and to be building on the city’s public transport offering.
We’re committed to investing in the local community, with new technology to improve safety and accessibility of our e-scooters, and new community programs to enable local businesses and community groups to unlock the benefits of shared micromobility.
Safety is our first priority, and we are committed to enforcing safe riding, in collaboration with the police.
We invest in rider education, prevention and deterrence, but above all, even the safest e-scooter requires a safer rider, and we ask that people do the right thing - that means wear a helmet, follow the road rules.
The Saturn 5 features tip-resistant dual kickstands, front suspension, triple breaks, wireless charging phone holders, a bluetooth-locked helmet and swappable batteries.
