Back in April, 2021, India’s Hero MotoCorp and Taiwan’s Gogoro first announced their new battery-swapping partnership. At the time, Hero MotoCorp was interested in getting into electric two-wheelers, but it hadn’t done so just yet. Given the success Gogoro had so far been having with its Powered by Gogoro Network and electric scooters in its home market, the math made a whole lot of sense.
That led us to wonder in May, 2021, if Gogoro’s Viva scooter line might head to India sometime soon. We based this speculation on reports that Gogoro had already filed trademarks with Intellectual Property India all the way back in 2019.
