Gogoro Crossover Electric Scooter Launched as “First Two-Wheel SUV”
Gogoro, a Taiwanese manufacturer, introduced the Gogoro CrossOver, a two-wheeled SUV. It is the first two-wheeled SUV ever seen by the world, and Gogoro has made this revolutionary action possible.
Due to the innovative approach in which it is marketed, it has created a lot of attention in the marketplace. Although to some it may appear to be a hefty electric moped scooter or merely a futuristic electric scooter, it is actually touted as the world’s first two-wheeler SUV rather than an electric scooter or anything else.
