The big problem, though, is that its availability is limited by the roll-out of the battery kiosks: you can't charge the batteries without them, so until Gogoro decides to officially come to your city, you can't have the Smartscooter — and so far, the only deployed city is Taipei,-with Amsterdam coming soon. First, the company is launching the GoCharger, which is basically a tiny version of the standard battery kiosk that can be used either in the home or in public spaces and has just two slots for batteries.
