TAIPEI,
Taiwan, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogoro Inc.
(Nasdaq: GGR), a global technology leader in battery swapping
ecosystems that enable sustainable mobility solutions for cities,
today introduced the Gogoro CrossOver Smartscooter, the first
two-wheel SUV. Designed to be customized and personalized,
CrossOver riders can also adapt its functions on the fly. The

CrossOver and CrossOver S.
"The Gogoro CrossOver embodies everything our brand has
come to stand for. Highlighted by new functional design features,
improved performance and the latest in innovation, the CrossOver is
focused on being personally customizable by each
rider," said Horace Luke,
founder, and CEO of Gogoro. "The CrossOver is based on a
completely redesigned all-terrain frame that enables increased
rigidity while offering a variety of storage and riding
capabilities. The CrossOver is a significant step forward for our
vehicle product family in Taiwan
and across our new markets where we continue to expand vehicle
options for our customers."
New All-Terrain Chassis
Optimized for various
road conditions, the Gogoro CrossOver adopts a newly
developed all-terrain frame that provides increased rigidity for
improved strength and stability. The new frame also provides 14.2
centimeters of ground clearance, the highest in Gogoro's
current vehicle lineup.
Flexible Cargo Capacity
Designed to adapt in
various riding scenarios, the CrossOver provides
passenger riding space as well as ample storage options with a new
mounting point expansion system that includes 26 locking points.
With the ability to leverage four cargo areas including a platform
design headlight, foot, seat and rear cargo space, the
CrossOver can easily accommodate most storage needs. To carry
more, the rear seat can be flipped up or removed to add cargo
storage as needed. Additionally, Gogoro has developed
a variety of new accessories that include a side faceplate rack,
off-road front rack and lightweight aluminum front
basket.
Powerful Performance and Easy Control
CrossOver
continues Gogoro's leadership in ride experience and performance.
Integrated with a G2.2 aluminum alloy water-cooled permanent magnet
synchronous motor that provides maximum power of 7.6 kW, CrossOver
is also equipped with a FLO DRIVE™ belt drive system that provides
a smooth ride experience. Gogoro CrossOver integrates a
Synchronized Braking System (SBS) that is equipped with front/rear
disc brakes that stabilize and shorten the braking
distance.
CrossOver's new frame design greatly increases the durability of
the suspension system and accommodates larger loads while taking
into account comfort and stability. CrossOver's suspension
integrates a telescopic front fork and a dual rear shock absorber.
It also has 12-inch Maxxis MA-EV high-grip dual-performance tires.
CrossOver utilizes a tactical LED ultra-bright full-time headlight
that expands loading capacity while retaining a complete beam
irradiation range.
Smart Features
The CrossOver series is equipped with
the new 6.8 iQ System® that enables it to add various smart
functions that can be instantly added through Gogoro's Mobile App.
In addition to existing Bluetooth controls, CrossOver Series can
also utilize LTE smart remote networking services that allow riders
to connect their CrossOver with 24 hour active message
notifications, remote command and control, real-time online vehicle
condition inspection including vehicle tip over warnings, vehicle
locking/unlocking, compartment opening, vehicle location query and
other functions.
Gogoro CrossOver S is equipped with the latest generation
SSmartcore intelligent driving electronic control core and

and optional cruise control mode that allows riders to quickly
start cruise control with one click.
