(Gogoro)
The Tesla of scooters is hitting the market this month and its price is just about as stunning as its high-tech features.
The Smartscooter, made by the Taiwan-based company Gogoro, is becoming available for pre-order on June 27, the company said. While the scooter will only be sold in Taipei, Taiwan for now, the company does have plans to sell its scooter in other countries.
Priced at $128,000 in Taiwan's currency (or about $4,100 in US currency), the scooter is a steal. However, this was an introductory offer because Taipei is where Gogoro is piloting the scooter, so the price could be higher if the company succeeds in launching in other cities.
To make that deal even sweeter, the company is throwing in two years of free maintenance, one year of theft insurance and two years of free electric battery swapping from Gogoro’s 32 charging stations in Taipei.
It’s worth noting though, that the company didn’t mention how much those batteries would cost after the two year period. And given that the scooters are only powered by Gogoro's batteries and those can only be retrieved at the companies charging stations, it could be awhile before the scooter makes it to cities outside of Taiwan.

Scooter looks bewitching! Price, though looks expensive!
You are right the price is prohibitive. I am sure it will come down, if they want to post this concept to other cities.
But also there is no running cost.
Why can't all these bright people in India build some thing like this?
