Gogoro

Taiwan's battery-swap and e-scoot company Gogoro is about to land on South American soil, thanks to a partnership with energy company Copec. The move will see GoStations and electric Smartscooters roll out in Chile and Colombia.

Taiwan's Gogoro has revealed the first details of its upcoming flagship electric smartscooter. The high-performance Pulse boasts zippy acceleration, a healthy amount of torque and is the first scoot to come with Snapdragon-powered smarts.

Taiwan-based e-mobility outfit Gogoro is taking its battery-swapping electric scooters out beyond the city limits with the introduction of the CrossOver SmartScooter, which the company is calling the first two-wheel SUV.

Back in 2015, Gogoro proposed setting up a network of battery-swapping stations for riders of its electric smartscooter. Now the company operates thousands of them, and has partnered with Enel X to have the network serve as virtual power plants.

Gogoro is likely best known for its colorful smart e-scooters and battery-swapping networks, but the mobility company is now adding an ebike called the Eeyo 1 to its product line up, which features an all-new digital drive called the Eeyo Smartwheel.

Taiwan's Gogoro today launched and new addition to its battery-swapping electric scooters – the Viva Smartscooter.

Mobility startup Gogoro has been making waves in Taiwan for a few years now with its smart electric scooters. It is now returning to its roots with a new scooter-sharing system for the city of Taoyuan, which will allow residents to hop aboard for a ride at the click of a button.

Taiwanese firm Gogoro is set to bring its electric two-wheelers to European streets, today announcing it will implement its battery-swapping Smartscooter network in Amsterdam in 2016 following a successful launch in Taipei earlier this year.

Startup Gogoro drew plenty of attention when it unveiled its battery-swapping Smartscooter network earlier this year, but when and were these were likely to be deployed wasn't entirely clear. The company has now announced a pilot program in Taiwan, ahead of a launch this coming summer.
