Ario

✨ Exciting news, Australia! ✨ Yesterday we officially launched our first e-scooter trial in Australia, introducing 200 futuristic, three-wheeled electric scooters across Townsville and Magnetic Island, with Councillor Brodie Phillips being one of the first to take an ARIO out for a spin 🛴 ARIO’s e-scooters are designed to be the safest on the market, incorporating innovative features such as, Active Pedestrian Detection Technology (APDT), Real Time Footpath Detection, Helmet Compliance and Tandem Riding Detection. As part of our commitment to safety, we'll also be hosting a free safety session at The Strand, Townsville on Saturday 14 December about responsible e-scooter use - we'll see you there! #ARIO #Escooter #Townsville #MagneticIsland #SaferSmarterDifferent Townsville City Council

Ario Lands in Sydney  Today marks a fabulous moment for Ario as our first fleet of e-bikes rolled out onto the streets of #Sydney. Starting in #Waverley, the innovative helmet technology is a game-changer for #micromobility solutions. Safer. Smarter. Different #smartcities #innovation #technology

We love to see cities provide transport options that #supportwomen. In the shared e-scooter space, there’s real disparity. But it’s time to close the gap 🛴✨ Women make up a significantly smaller proportion of riders across Australasia, approximately 24% - 37%. Safety concerns are the primary reason for lower participation. Ario is recognisably more accessible for women. Our three-wheel, self-balancing design is independently tested by the experts at Beca to be safer, more comfortable and provide better stopping control. Trust Ario to design women-friendly rides ✊🙋♀️ and help create more accessible, connected cities. #smartmobility #smartcities #sustinablemobility #smartdevices #micromobility #escooters

Streets are #sharedspaces where everybody has a right to feel they belong. That’s why we’re busy creating a more courteous rider culture in each city we serve 🛴✨ Through cutting-edge science and design, Ario assesses rider behaviours and educates and corrects them. We proactively regulate an average of 9% of our rider base each week. We look out for inconsiderate riding, so the people you love, don’t have to 🧑🏽🦽🤱🏻👩🦯 Trust Ario to create more accessible and connected cities. #smartmobility #smartcities #sustinablemobility #smartdevices #micromobility #escooters

We were thrilled to have Mayor Sarah Swan of Woollahra Council demonstrate our e-scooter today. At Ario, we’re committed to providing smart, safe, and innovative transport that helps reduce congestion and carbon emissions. Seeing local leadership take the wheel – or handlebar, in this case – is a clear sign that cities like Woollahra are embracing a greener future. Thanks to Mayor Swan and Woollahra Council for their support as we work toward a more sustainable urban transport solution. #SmartSafeDifferent #Micromobility #Sustainability #Evehicles #Ario #Woollahra #FutureOfTransport #GreenerCities

How can innovation make #transport more #accessible? Next Wednesday I’m joining an Access Matters Aotearoa panel discussion with fellow transport changemakers, all working to develop accessible solutions that improve how we move. From cutting-edge scooters to train services and airline programs, we’re driving innovation to transform transport in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This Sunday, our outer Auckland trial wraps up 🛴✨ Big thanks to our partners Auckland Council for supporting world-leading transport technology. We improved street accessibility for all by resolving poor parking in record time; an average of eight minutes—more than 10 times faster than the industry target. This was just one of the ways we proved public e-scooter services can keep everyone on the footpath happier, by serving pedestrians as much as riders. We hope to be back in Auckland soon 👋 #rideshare #sustainabletransport #smartdevices #micromobility

We are adding our voice to the call for NZTA to allow Ario to continue reparking its e-scooters by remote control. The decision by the New Zealand Transport Agency to make the Ario e-scooter company turn off its remote reparking feature has drawn criticism from disability groups. Chris Teo-Sherrell from Living Streets says any measure which makes e-scooters more pedestrian friendly is worthwhile and remote parking is one such feature.

Good news, on Friday, New Zealand Herald received a response from Transport Minister Simeon Brown who is seeking advice on whether a rule needs to be changed to enable Remote Reparking ✨🛴 This popular feature provides better access for everyone, especially people with disabilities. Thanks to campaigning efforts with Awhi and the open letter from CCS Disability Action, Disability Leadership Canterbury and Access for All Otago, we have some movement on the issue.

Great to see RNZ reporting on NZTA's surprising decision to block #micromobilityinnovation. Remote Rangers in our Safety and Access Team can effortlessly repark a scooter left in the way ✨🛴 This popular feature provides better access for everyone, especially people with disabilities. If regulation could support innovation we’d be in a position to make everyone on our footpaths happier. Read the article here 🗞 https://lnkd.in/gmc_WxsV
