Gogoro's latest electric scooter is a 'two-wheel SUV'
Gogoro, a prominent company in the swappable battery market for light electric vehicles, has introduced its latest 'Gogoro CrossOver Smartscooter.' Touted as a 'two-wheel SUV,' it is built on a new platform and depends on Gogoro's network of over one million exchangeable batteries. The CrossOver is designed with a focus on durability and practicality, boasting task-specific design elements and a sturdier frame with increased ground clearance compared to earlier Gogoro models.
The scooter offers a customizable design and expandable mounting points
The Gogoro CrossOver offers extensive customization options, enabling riders to modify its features as needed. It includes an adjustable mounting point system with 26 secure points, providing abundant storage possibilities and space for passengers. There are four cargo carrying areas, such as a platform-style headlight, foot, seat, and rear cargo space. The back seat can be flipped up or removed for additional storage. Gogoro has also created new accessories like side faceplate racks and off-road front racks.
Top speed of the EV may be limited to 95km/h
Equipped with a centrally positioned G2.2 aluminum alloy water-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor, the CrossOver generates a maximum power of around 10hp. It also employs Gogoro's FLO DRIVE belt drive system for a seamless riding experience with virtually no maintenance required. The scooter's top speed has not been disclosed yet, but similar Gogoro models have an electronically restricted top speed of 95km/h. A Synchronized Braking System (SBS) with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes handles braking.
Traction, cruise control modes can be enabled with one switch
The CrossOver comes with Gogoro's new 6.8 iQ System, featuring Bluetooth controls, LTE smart remote networking services, and real-time online vehicle condition monitoring. It also includes a Traction Control System (TCS) and an optional cruise control mode. Riders can replace their batteries at numerous swap stations throughout Taiwan, with the entire process taking a mere six seconds.
CrossOver buyers can create their own color combinations
Initially, the Gogoro CrossOver will be available in Taiwan, with color choices such as Desert White, Night Storm Grey. The CrossOver S trim will also include Myst Red and Summit Yellow. Gogoro has also unveiled its new Gogoro Bespoke Club for Smartscooter customization services, allowing CrossOver buyers to design their own personalized scooter with over 100 color combinations. No announcements have been made yet regarding potential global launch plans for the CrossOver.
