The Gogoro Smartscooter is a series of electric scooters developed by Gogoro and marketed starting in 2015, using an aluminum chassis and a liquid cooled permanent magnet synchronous traction motor.[1] It uses a battery swapping scheme, branded Gogoro Network, to recharge its traction batteries; users pay a monthly subscription fee, the exact value of which depends on their expected usage, to gain access to the company's GoStation public battery dispensing machines.[2] Although at-home charging is possible, starting with the 2 Series scooters released in 2017, owners still are required to pay a monthly subscription fee for Gogoro Network access.
The scooter design integrates sensors that collect information such as speed, energy consumption and levels, system failures, as well as scooter falls. The information is relayed to the Gogoro Energy Network and presented to riders via Gogoro mobile apps compatible with Android and IOS smartphones. The Gogoro mobile app also allows for customization of certain settings such as lighting and sound profiles.
