Gogoro進軍日本市場！
Taiwanese electric scooter maker Gogoro is partnering with Sumitomo Corporation, a global trading and business investment company based in Japan, to offer its new scooter sharing service in the country later this year.

Named GoShare, the service will begin a pilot program on the southern Japanese island of Ishigaki in November and then expand to other cities and markets in 2018.

Different from the scooter rental services that Gogoro launched in Berlin and Paris, the program hinges on the Gogoro Energy Network, an open battery-swapping system that will power the Gogoro Smartscooter as well as compact four-wheel vehicles in the future.
這項計畫與Gogoro之前在柏林和巴黎推出的機車租賃服務不同，將以「Gogoro能源網路」的開放式電池交換系統為核心，除了為Gogoro智慧雙輪機車充電之外，未來也將為小型四輪車輛提供服務。
