- Gogoro’s first product for India could be the CrossOver
- Globally unveiled in October this year
Taiwan-based electric two-wheeler brand Gogoro has announced that it will introduce a new electric scooter in India. If a few online reports are anything to go by, the company’s maiden product for India will be the CrossOver adventure-style scooter that was globally unveiled in October this year.
Gogoro calls the CrossOver the ultimate two-wheeler SUV as it’s focused on on-road and some off-road usage. Design-wise, it looks quintessentially utilitarian and rugged with large body panels, huge floorboard, and a split-type roomy seat. Interestingly, the pillion seat can be folded to double up as a rider backrest and make room for carrying luggage. The company has made a provision to carry luggage at the front as well, on top of the quirky-looking headlamp.
Propelling the CrossOver is a 7.5kW electric motor that is powered by a pair of swappable battery packs with a combined capacity of around 1.6kWh. It is claimed to deliver a range of 100km on full charge. The cycle parts are inclined towards making it more versatile. For instance, wrapping around its 12-inch alloy wheels are Maxxis dual-purpose tyres with a suspension setup that seems to boast long travel for taking on rough terrain.
The details about the pricing and availability of the Gogoro CrossOver aren’t known yet. The company had been running a pilot program for testing the feasibility of its battery-swapping network in India since November last year. Now, on 12 December, the Taiwanese brand will announce the expansion of its battery-swapping network in our country.
