Gogoro's electric scooters just got a major price cut and a new, cheaper model

Taiwanese firm Gogoro makes some of the most futuristic electric scooters we've ever seen, but they're certainly not cheap. So, in a bid to attract new customers in Taiwan (where the company is running its pilot program), Gogoro has cut the cost of its current models and introduced a new, cheaper ride named the Gogoro Lite. Customers can now buy the standard scooter at NT$98,000 (around $2,984), while the high-end Gogoro Plus will start at NT$108,000 ($3,288) and the new Gogoro Lite will be available from NT$88,000 ($2,679). Government subsidies can knock as much as NT$26,000 off these price-tags (that's $791), but unlike the original launch pricing, this doesn't include two years of battery swapping from the terminals that power Gogoro's scooters.
