GoGoro! This is Exciting!

[WhiteNoise]

TV announced this new battery operated step-through scooter just 20 minutes ago on our News Station.

I bring you....The "Gogoro"

Said to arrive this Spring!

I will say no more other than, WOW! (I gave them my email address to keep informed)

Check out their website: http://www.gogoro.com/#/faster

Read it all, and watch their video!

Impressed? Price???

Need a touch more details to be impressed or unimpressed

Lovely pictures though

I completely lost interest when I found out heir business model revolves around battery stations only. No provisions for self charging at home where you could perhaps keep a spare ready for a quick swap in the garage. It's concept is geared entirely for dense city settings.

Chief says... "Gay like the Cube or Smart Car, just never going to happen for manly men even if it will do a burn out"

Now you mention dense that could open up a massive market in the USA.

I have mixed feelings on this scoot. I like the mechanical design but the styling not so much. I also have a feeling this is a hipster product that will be way overpriced.

Yes, bars seem close....very close
Still, it has my attention. Any guess to the price of this? Up up and away $$$

Here's Gogoro's puzzle pieces (minus a few items)....Just for You member dasshreddar

HA! the horn is about half the size of the engine...

Is this the motor? where's the battery because this will be the biggest, heaviest, pricey and most cumbersome element of an electric anything.

I think this is great for commuting and getting groceries, alongside a gas motorcycle for longer distance road trips.

Face it, most of us rides scooters. I don't think any of us are worried about the perception of our masculinity.
