One could argue that electric vehicles, be it cars, scooters, or motorcycles, more closely resemble techie gadgets than traditional vehicles. There’s no gasoline, no oil, no wrenching on engine stuff. Instead, all you need to do is hook it up to a computer and download the latest software update. While the thought of this may make diehard automotive enthusiasts sick to their stomachs, there’s no denying that it is super convenient.
In the electric two-wheeled space, Gogoro stands out as one of the key players. Renowned in multiple markets thanks to its ultra-efficient, user-friendly battery-swapping technology, the company has recently announced a new development that will have Apple users grinning from ear to ear. Now, iPhone users, myself included, are spoiled by the integration that Apple provides. I can control everything from the lights in my home, the speakers in my room, the cameras in my garage, and the locks on my doors through my iPhone. Now, Gogoro users will be able to use their iPhones and Apple Watches as a smart key for their scooters too.
