Been a minute. Anyone have opinions? Gonna post a EC-05 vs S2 ABS thread. ![IMG_20190909_094149](https://forumosauploads-12829.kxcdn.com/original/3X/c/3/c32cc8549a83ef88fdb51cad1b78a432976a9710.jpeg) ![IMG_20190909_094142](https://forumosauploads-12829.kxcdn.com/original/3X/6/2/62559005d609cfe4f1f8a37311d12815c74958d8.jpeg) ![IMG_20190909_094137](https://forumosauploads-12829.kxcdn.com/original/3X/7/8/782157929bd99cfb26a8813be0508468c511ead8.jpeg) Here’s some better pics. The part where your knees go is actually pretty nice. Basically an S2 with a bigger body. Longer seat too ---

There is a new gogoro plan with a base NT$299 fee per month, plus an additional NT$2.3/Ah, with the first 87Ah (NT$200) free. If you currently on the NT$499 plan, this new plan might save you money. If you are on the NT$799 plan and you are a heavy user that uses up close to all the mileage covered in your plan, then this plan would end up being more expensive. ---

Interesting, thanks. Where can I find more? My gogoro app doesn’t seem to show it, in the gogoro website shop (where you configure a scooter, and choose the plan) I didn’t see it either? ---

Interesting, thanks! So it’s not started, yet. Finally there is an monetary incentive to ride efficiently, great 😍 so far the only advantage I see from driving efficiently (slower, using lots of recuperation, …) is that you need to change batteries less frequently. Also in that article it seems to say that there is a discount on certain battery swap stations, seemingly based on station popularity or battery availability. Also good, you can save by chosing stations wisely. And the network can use this incentive to balance users a bit according to the network needs. ---

That’s not bad. That’s pretty bad: 1 USD = ~30NT = 1l of gas So this is 5l/100km (some small cars can do that and scooter should do much better) Is the Electrek’s article estimate incorrect? ---

I’m not in any way a fan of Gogoro’s proprietary system, the control they exercise over it, nor the subscription-pricing model, but I do believe that monthly fee includes your battery rental, meaning you’ll never have to buy batteries for it. ---
