You can find Beam e-bikes and e-scooters for hire within the ‘Beam zone’.

Beam e-bikes and e-scooters are available for hire on a pay-as-you-go basis via the Beam app.

As part of the NSW e-scooter shared scheme trial, you must only ride e-scooters on designated shared paths in Lake Macquarie. These trial locations were nominated by Lake Macquarie’s Economic Development Company, Dantia, and approved by Transport for NSW.

You can ride Beam e-bikes anywhere within the ‘Beam zone’.

If you travel outside of the Beam zone, you will receive a notification asking you to return to the zone. If you continue to travel outside the zone, your e-bike or e-scooter will come to a safe stop and you will not be able to travel any further.

We know our Lake Macquarie community values our city’s unique landscape, a diverse economy, connected communities, our lifestyle and wellbeing, as well as mobility and accessibility.

Micromobility transport options, like Beam’s e-bikes and e-scooters, make it easier for residents and visitors to get around the city, in a way that promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, and allows more of us to choose a more environmentally-friendly option and leave the car at home.

Active transport also supports local business and our city’s economy. Similar trials in Darwin showed 82 per cent of e-bike and e-scooter journeys included a transaction.

Visit ridebeam.com/safety for advice to help you stay safe while riding.

Additional safety tips for e-scooters, as part of the NSW e-scooter sharing scheme trial, are available at towardszero.nsw.gov.au. 

Beam's e-bikes and e-scooters include a helmet and a Bluetooth helmet lock so riders always have access to equipment that will help them stay safe.

Beam are closely monitoring use and plan to expand the Beam zone to meet rider demand. Be sure to follow Beam on Facebook and Instagram to be the first to hear about new areas as they come online.
