So electric bike and scooter schemes are rolling out in Europe. The one thing about about Gogoro is it has been over spec for sharing schemes in terms of cost. I guess that’s why they brought the new model in. Its great for customers but an electric bike scheme would cheaper to run, if not as attractive in some ways. I’m a huge fan of gogoro and have confidence they’ll keep mixing it up and I hope the government does continue to support the electric mobility industry here.

I was there but I don’t remember them, were the 90s good?
I was told a few weeks ago that they would be using J-bubu styling, going for the retro look. They completely missed the mark, it’s a pity as it would have been nice to have something retro.
The 90’s PC’s manufacturers that made it through the clone wars, either offered something unique inside or was a Mac.
Ehhhh yeah. I dunno. Maybe
Like a Vespa ?
Maybe a Lambretta tv200, they had space for a a spare wheel, l,m sure that could fit the battery’s in

I stay by my prediction…eventually will go down the tubes. The only way they will survive is with government continued support.
Like any company they too can eventually go bust given a long enough time frame. But they’ve already succeeded with 25% of new scooter sales.

Yeah but you could say that about a lot of industries and companies.
The roads themselves are all subsidised.
I agree they do need govt support and they SHOULD get government support to help clean up the filthy air in our cities and build a new industry and supply chain. All the government has to is charge parking for motor scooters , let electric free stuff like that. It’s doesn’t even need the government to spend much more money. It would involve upsetting some people though.

25% of new sales? That figure is hard to believe.
Saw that government lately also subsidized non-electric motobikes….that will put a dent in electric bike market.
20-25% thereabouts. They made it. They did it. We should all be proud.

Over 23% for Gogoro alone and close to 25% if you include the Yamaha, Aeon and PGO electric scooters made by Gogoro.
