C&C, Gogoro launch electric scooters and charging stations

Cycle & Carriage Singapore (C&C) and Gogoro officially launched battery-swop electric scooters and charging stations in Singapore on Oct 16.

- 

Three electric scooter models were unveiled at the new Gogoro showroom located within the C&C Electric Commercial Vehicle Hub at 330 Ubi Road.

They will be supported by four battery-swop stations. Mr Wilfrid Foo, C&C managing director, told The Business Times at the launch that he expects the majority of sales to come from fleet or corporate sales.

C&C was earlier confirmed as the authorised distributor for Gogoro in Singapore in July. Three of Gogoro's electric scooters will be available for purchase or lease from November: the Premium, SuperSport and Vivamix.

No pricing information was available as the motorcycles are undergoing approval with the Land Transport Authority, but a Business Times report says it understands that the cost of the machine does not include an on-board battery.

A battery-swop subscription starts at $70 a month and includes unlimited battery swops. Battery-swopping involves physically replacing a depleted battery pack for a fresh one at a battery-swop station.
