I’m not sure about the financing (with interest) offered by Gogoro through Far Trust Consumer Finance, but there are many 0% interest financing options through various banks if you have their credit card. Then it becomes less of a question of financing and more of whether or not you can get a credit card, which is slightly easier. The limitation there is your credit limit, but I was able to first pay a chunk of it then finance the rest of it through a Taishin card I have for 12mos no interest.
A list of these options is available here but they change sometimes.
Our Gogoro is almost here! We didn’t add any of the super-expensive 1st party accessories because we wanted to get cheaper 3rd-party ones. Anyone have any accessory recommendations? I think we’ll get one of those non-slip mats, a Y-bar for carrying bags, and a phone-holder. Accessory types and/or brands all welcome!
Initially, I got the fog lights and eventually upgraded the handlebars, all Gogoro branded. Since I was the first batch of G2 to hit the road, not many shops were doing custom yet, so I did not have much choice. I didn’t mind as I know buying from GGR would mean I wouldn’t have much issues with warranty.
I considered this when I first got mine, but hesitated and wanted to see how I would fair with the one hook. Turns out I was fine, just have to angle your bags to fit more. Tbh, you could hang a bunch of bags on the Y bar, but you could have almost no leg room left on the platform!
Pro tip, bring a rag with you on the seat compartment. If it’s raining and you need to go to the battery station, make sure you wipe off the battery before putting it in the scooter. A loooooot of people reported damanged battery docks in their scoots due to rain damage.
No, I’m married to a Taiwanese citizen. It’s like a joint card, I’ve got my own card with my name on it and she’s got one with hers, we pay the bill together.
Foreigners can have credit cards. You need need to find a willing bank, or have the stars align for you on application day. Once you get the first one, the others are a piece of cake.
They handle it for you when you buy the scooter at the store! You just pay the relevant fees. The scooter is delivered to you with tags and insurance all set up.
If it’s one of the models using the plastic material (3, Viva) then I don’t see any issue. If it’s using the painted material then white will scratch up very quickly, if that bothers you.
