Battery swap charges moped in 10 seconds Smartscooter from Gogoro is an electric moped that charges in under 10s � because it has swappable batteries.As such it needs special battery swap stations � particularly as home charging is said to be impossible � the first infrastructure for which is being installed in Taipei.Drive up to the charge station, pull two Li-ion batteries out of the Smartscooter, dump them into shaped holes in the charger, and it automatically pops up two charged batteries to replace them.The batteries include slide-in connectors on the bottom, so there is no separate disconnection or connection procedure. And the batteries fit in any way around, so long as the handle is at the top.�Smartscooter gathers, analyses, and shares riding behaviours ten times a second to help riders determine what best for their Smartscooter energy consumption while getting the same performance,� said the firm. �This riding data is updated to the cloud, every 10 minutes, from the Gogoro mobile app on the riders smartphone or when a battery is exchanged at a GoStation via NFC.�Riders get to select specific ride feel, throttle acceleration and dashboard colour.Smartscooter at a glance
