How Gogoro is Rethinking Electric Fuel to Provide Urban Riders With Smarter Vehicles

With over 65% of the world’s population predicted to live in cities by 2050, sustainable transportation has become a critical priority for cities and their residents. Today, over 500 million two-wheel vehicles are on the road in Asia alone, compounding congestion, pollution, and greenhouse emissions in some of the world’s densest urban centers.
Gogoro was founded in 2011 to address the transportation challenges these cities are facing, with a breakthrough approach to smarter vehicles and electric refueling. Their self-developed technology and unique “Swap & Go” battery swapping service lets two-wheel riders swap out depleted batteries for charged ones in seconds at locations across the city. Their “batteries not included” approach reduces vehicle cost and virtually eliminates concerns of riding range and charging time that have held back mass market adoption of electric vehicles till now. Having proven their solution in their pilot market of Taiwan, Gogoro is now focused on bringing it to the world’s top two-wheel markets of China, India, Indonesia, and across Southeast Asia.
“It sounded like a crazy idea when we first started, a vehicle that didn't need refueling or didn't need recharging. So, we started with that simple idea of swap…and from there we grew.”
- Horace Luke, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Gogoro

man, I wish Gogoro would deploy in Vietnam soon, we have a massive population that use scooters/motorbikes

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Love the idea GoGoro. Would love to check them out in person one day.

[@realtalkphph]

Byebye gas LOL
Gogoro is a game changer.

[@zrp7931]

Thank you for posting this. I hope you guys make more like this. I used to own shares of NIO and the idea of swapable batteries
is very interesting to me. I know what Gogoro does can not be used in cars YET, but I do believe it is coming one day. I think
the other possible applications of Gogoro's technology is pretty wide also. Luke has said that Gogoro's tech has already been used to provide backup power for traffic lights. I think this is just the beginning.

Glad that cities are getting cleaner for humans and animals around .

come here UAE , the competition need your talent

DUAL DISC brakes in front plz

[@fergman300]

Will you be working with Nimbus1 so your battery swap station could be used in their 3 wheel EV.

[@georgelewis8831]

Buy the dip! The GGR stock is CHEAP! Just about $3.50 (the Tesla of scooters)

[@essentialeconomist184]

how many stock you bought? Can we discuss about this.

[@davidg7454]

I agree, It's now trading at $3. Insanity. Actually this is a fair price for GGR with zero growth outside of Taiwan. Gogoro needs to prove it can move its business model rapidly to other countries. 92% of the Taiwan electric 2 wheel market is great. Recurring revenue. Now prove that you've learned something from all of this and be able to go into other markets and duplicate this. GGR chose wrongly, in my opinion, China first because 70% of that two-wheel market is already electric and they keep locking down people in that country. And 20% of young men are unemployed in China. Choose markets where investors can see Taiwan is not a one-off. Being an expert in Taiwan does not make any company an instant expert in Indonesia, India, Israel, China, or India. And don't just focus on locals. How many times have I traveled to a heavily tourist area and wished I could rent a 60 mph scooter and not have to hit a gas station? Think of the Rivera Maya in Mexico. From Cancun to Tulum. Huge tourist density area. Find areas like that with lots of tourism AND locals who would use em.

[@essentialeconomist184]

@@davidg7454 David G stop this bs, Taiwan is one of the most scooters usage country in the world. If they failed in Taiwan, it won't work in China.

Aston University gogoro marketing let's go

[@DougGrinbergs]

I've said this before but waiting for a more energy-dense Gogoro battery that could be adopted as car backup power supply (EV "gas can" 😉)

[@georgelewis8831]

I would like some explanation from the company on why the stock keeps going down! I still believe it’s going to succeed, but we retail investors need to know what’s actually happening… many of us bought from the beginning and feel we deserve to know more.

[@casualsuede]

Since batteries make up a huge chunk of the cost, does it mean the scooters are much cheaper?
