Growing cities need smarter transportation systems and Gogoro, a Taiwanese electric scooter manufacturer may have the solution. The scooter gathers, analyzes, and shares rider data to help riders understand best practices for reducing energy consumption and optimizing performance. Vending machines called GoStations allow riders to swap out dead batteries with new ones, and are spread throughout the city for easy access. By 2025 the number of smart cities around the world is predicted to quadruple from 2013, from 21 to 88 hence Gogoro’s planned expansion plans.
