Once the electric market catches on here in Taiwan, the flood of cheaper eletric scooters from China will be Gogoro's biggest challenge.
Gogoro has recently (3 months after launch) reduced their prices and introduced more models - with the light model (no battery plan included) starting at $88,000. And even with cuts from government programs (up to 3, depending on your location in Taiwan), it can be reduced down to $62,000.
I haven't seen a single Gogoro out wild on the streets since it launched in Taiwan 3 months ago.
I think a better strategy would've been getting people to buy into electric scooters first before pushing an 'Apple' E-Scooter with such a irrational price tag.

In Taiwan there are a lot of electric scooters around, they are also taking off in Vietnam.
At the same time there are quite a few people on those mini segway thingies too.

Electric scooter dealers and cycle shops are making an absolute killing over here right now.
