Gogoro electric scooters are brilliant. Unlike other electric scooters that charge via a wall outlet, Gogoro has a series of battery swapping stations where riders can pull in and swap their nearly dead battery for a fresh one and carry on riding. The scooter company has been a hit in Taipei since launching this summer, and now Gogoro is coming to Amsterdam. The Dutch capital has paired up with the company to find areas in the city where recharging stations could be placed and should be a perfect fit to the smart energy ecosystem of a city already dedicated to bikes and scooters on its roadways.
