"With the opening of our first Gogoro Experience Center (GEC), we are not just unveiling a store, we are opening the doors to the next chapter of mobility in the Philippines. Filipinos are invited to step in, explore, and be a part of this transformative journey towards a smarter and cleaner urban commute,” said Bernie Llamzon, President of Gogoro Philippines.
At the GEC, visitors are immersed in the world of the Gogoro Smartscooter® and will be able to see a range of Smartscooters® including:

Gogoro Battery Swapping
Beyond the Smartscooters, the GEC shines a spotlight on the unique battery-swapping ecosystem that Gogoro pioneered to accelerate the two-wheel transformation to smart electric transportation in cities by offering quick and easy Swap & Go battery swapping. Consumers will get a chance to witness this global innovation in action and even participate in lightning-quick battery swapping at a GoStation.

Gogoro Philippines will be announcing pricing and availability for some Smartscooter® models on December 1, 2023 as well as additional models that will be available in early 2024.
Accessories
There will also be a wide variety of accessories available for riders to personalize their Smartscooters® to meet their specific needs, whether to add extra convenience, style, or functionality.
