Gogoro, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, is a technology company focused on sustainable urban mobility and energy solutions. The company is best known for its Smartscooter electric vehicles and proprietary battery-swapping infrastructure, which it markets under the Gogoro Energy Network. Through a network of GoStations, Gogoro enables riders to quickly exchange depleted battery packs for fully charged units, reducing downtime and addressing range-anxiety concerns commonly associated with electric scooters.
Gogoro’s core product lineup includes its Smartscooter models—equipped with digital instrument panels, smartphone connectivity, and modular battery packs—as well as a suite of swappable battery designs optimized for different vehicle types. The company also offers a subscription-based Battery as a Service (BaaS) program, allowing customers to access unlimited battery swaps for a monthly fee rather than purchasing battery packs outright. This business model supports both individual riders and large-scale fleet operators, such as delivery services and ride-hailing companies.
Beyond vehicles and batteries, Gogoro provides an Internet of Things (IoT) platform that integrates data analytics, mobile applications, and energy-management software. The platform enables real-time monitoring of battery health, station utilization, and vehicle performance. Gogoro has entered strategic partnerships with OEMs and municipal authorities to license its swapping network technology, positioning itself not only as a scooter manufacturer but also as an energy-infrastructure provider.
While Gogoro’s initial deployments were concentrated in Taiwan’s major cities, the company has expanded its reach through collaborations in Asia and Europe. Its leadership team is led by co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Horace Luke, who previously held design and product roles at major technology firms. Under this leadership, Gogoro continues to pursue global expansion of its battery-swapping network and to explore new applications for its energy-management technologies.
