SINGAPORE, Oct. 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogoro Inc. (Nasdaq: GGR), a
global technology leader in battery-swapping ecosystems that enable
sustainable mobility solutions for cities and its exclusive
Singapore distribution partner,
Cycle & Carriage, today announced they will be launching Gogoro
battery swapping and Smartscooters in Singapore later this month.
"Together with Cycle & Carriage, we are introducing a new
generation of two-wheel urban transportation and refueling in
Singapore. Gogoro battery swapping
provides a quick, easy and safe electric refueling experience that
doesn't require parking or time to charge," said Henry Chiang, CEO of Gogoro. "Singapore has taken a proactive approach to
accelerating EV adoption and the Singapore LTA's TR25 electric
vehicle charging standard has established a strong set of
requirements for Southeast Asia to
embrace."
"Gogoro is Cycle & Carriage's first foray into the
two-wheeler electric mobility business here in Singapore and it highlights our commitment to
support the Singapore Green Plan 2030," said Wilfrid Foo, Managing Director of Cycle &
Carriage Singapore. "While battery swapping technology is
relatively new here, we believe in the products and our partnership
with Gogoro will accelerate the growth."
Three Gogoro Smartscooters
C&C is launching three
Gogoro Smartscooter models:
- Gogoro Viva Mix - Gogoro Viva Mix is a lightweight,
nimble Smartscooter that is compact and has a riding range of up to
150km.
- Gogoro Premium - Gogoro Premium boasts a range of up to
170km with a 6.4kW of power output.
- Gogoro SuperSport - Gogoro SuperSport comes with many
Smart Features to enhance rider safety and up to 170km riding

Gogoro Battery Swapping
The Gogoro Network is a new
generation of swappable battery refueling that is smart, safe and
continually optimizing itself to be dynamic and versatile for
riders, business, and communities. In Taiwan's cities, Gogoro has more battery
swapping stations than gas stations and the Gogoro Network supports
more than 610,000 riders and has more than 1.4 million smart
batteries in circulation through its network of 12,500 battery
swapping GoStations racks at over 2,500 locations. There are more
than 400,000 daily battery swaps and more than 630 million total
battery swaps to date. Gogoro battery swapping has avoided more
than 1 million tons of CO2 emissions.
Singapore Market Demand
With only one percent of 2023
registered two-wheel vehicles on the road being electric, there is
a strong market potential for more electric two-wheel vehicles in
Singapore. With the Gogoro
Smartscooters being priced competitively, the cost is comparable to
internal combustion engine two-wheel vehicles in the market.
