REGINA — Regina’s bright orange e-scooters are back on city streets as the shared mobility program returns for its fourth season.
The shared e-scooter program, operated by Neuron Mobility, is entering its second year as Regina’s exclusive provider, bringing thousands of riders back into motion across downtown, the Warehouse District and Wascana Park.
Since launching in 2023, riders have logged more than 450,000 kilometres in Regina, with the program steadily embedding itself into daily transportation habits.
In 2025, about 60 per cent of trips replaced car travel, helping avoid an estimated 15 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, according to the city. Data provided by the City of Regina also shows 60 per cent of rides resulted in a purchase at a local business, with riders spending an average of $41 per trip, generating an estimated $2.4 million boost for Regina businesses.
“We are delighted to re-launch in Regina as the exclusive provider,” said Ankush Karwal, general manager for Canada at Neuron Mobility. “Regina is a great city, and the service is very popular with riders who have racked up nearly half a million kilometres since we first launched.”
The program continues under strict safety rules: riders must be 16 or older, helmets are mandatory, only one rider per scooter is allowed, and riding on sidewalks is prohibited.
City officials say the system is now a structured part of Regina’s transportation network rather than an experiment.
“The shared e-scooter program is now back in Regina and it is expected to stay until Oct. 31 for this year,” said Vikas Ravada, manager of traffic engineering for the City of Regina.
He said the scooters are designed to fill key transportation gaps.
“E-scooters play a key role, typically filling the gap for the vital first-mile, last-mile connectivity,” Ravada said.
From a community perspective, the program is also being viewed as part of a broader shift in mobility and sustainability.
Enviro Collective Network member Rob Deglau said the scooters represent incremental but meaningful change.
“It’s about mobility. I mean, if you want a livable city, you need to have the people able to move freely,” Deglau said. “If an e-scooter helps them, then guess what, there's a gain.”
Last season alone, the program saw more than 14,000 riders complete over 58,000 trips, covering 156,000 kilometres.
As the orange scooters roll back into daily use across Regina, Deglau offered a final perspective on what the change really means for the city.
“E-scooters have definitely been well received within this city and they're going to be here a long time.”
