Globe Group formally opens Gogoro’s first experience center in PH

After successfully completing a two-month pilot test of its innovative Smartscooter and battery-swapping system, Gogoro Philippines has finally mounted its grand launch.

The electric mobility brand opened its first experience center on November 7, heralding the official launch of Gogoro in the country. Located at the second level of Greenbelt 4 in Ayala Center (the former site of a Globe experience store), the innovative hub facilitates an immersive experience, giving visitors the real feel of how it is to actually see and use Gogoro Smartscooters and battery-swapping technology.

“With the opening of our first Gogoro Experience Center (GEC), we are not just unveiling a store, we are opening the doors to the next chapter of mobility in the Philippines. Filipinos are invited to step in, explore, and be a part of this transformative journey towards a smarter and cleaner urban commute,” said Bernie Llamzon, President of Gogoro Philippines.

At the GEC, visitors are immersed in the world of the Gogoro Smartscooter® and will be able to see a range of Smartscooters® including:

  • Gogoro S1 – Inspired by supercars, the iconic Gogoro S1 is based on a chassis crafted from racing-grade aluminum.
  • Gogoro SuperSport – The high-performance Gogoro SuperSport is also equipped with Gogoro’s cutting-edge SSMartcore Technology.
  • Gogoro Delight – The Gogoro Delight was designed by an all-female team that emphasizes rider comfort and functionality. 
  • Gogoro Viva – The compact Gogoro Viva is ideal for city travel and requires no license or registration to ride.

Gogoro Battery Swapping

Beyond the Smartscooters, the GEC shines a spotlight on the unique battery-swapping ecosystem that Gogoro pioneered to accelerate the two-wheel transformation to smart electric transportation in cities by offering quick and easy Swap & Go battery swapping. Consumers will get a chance to witness this global innovation in action and even participate in lightning-quick battery swapping at a GoStation.

Availability

Gogoro Philippines will be announcing pricing and availability for some Smartscooter® models on December 1, 2023 as well as additional models that will be available in early 2024.

Accessories

There will also be a wide variety of accessories available for riders to personalize their Smartscooters® to meet their specific needs, whether to add extra convenience, style, or functionality.
