The Townsville City Council has announced a groundbreaking partnership with ARIO, introducing 200 innovative three-wheeled electric scooters to Townsville and Magnetic Island. This initiative, set to commence soon, aims to enhance the city’s e-mobility landscape with a strong focus on safety features and rider experience.
Acting Mayor Paul Jacob expressed his anticipation for the trial and the potential impact of ARIO on transforming urban mobility in Townsville. The introduction of ARIO as a new e-scooter provider in the city fills a void and offers a unique transportation option for residents.
ARIO’s General Manager for Australia and New Zealand, Adam Rossetto, highlighted the company’s commitment to safety, convenience, and sustainability in designing their cutting-edge e-scooters.

The deployment of ARIO’s scooters will cover various suburbs in Townsville and Magnetic Island, providing residents with an alternative mode of transport. Councillor Brodie Phillips emphasized the importance of adhering to safety regulations while riding e-scooters, including wearing helmets and following traffic laws.
