TAIPEI, Taiwan - February 23, 2021 - Gogoro®, a technology leader transforming how innovation is accelerating the shift to sustainable urban mobility, today unveiled the VIVA™ MIX Smartscooter. Delivering the performance of mass-market 125cc gas scooters, the VIVA MIX provides a bold new compact Smartscooter design that integrates Gogoro’s leading smart connectivity and battery swapping. 
 
“As the growing mass market transition to electric grows, Gogoro is focused on introducing innovative and affordable Smartscooters like VIVA MIX to meet the demand,” said Horace Luke, founder, and CEO, Gogoro Inc. “With Gogoro DNA at its core, the VIVA MIX delivers the total Smartscooter package of smart riding features, expressive design and Gogoro battery swapping that delivers a new standard that is more accessible.” 
 
DISTINCT AND VERSATILE
Designed to be broadly appealing and distinct, the VIVA MIX uses a unique three-color design language that introduces a fresh and bold style. Using 100% environmentally friendly and recyclable polypropylene (PP) material, the VIVA MIX body is scratch resistant and super durable. 
 
Designed for all riders, VIVA MIX provides a new comfortable and versatile riding  experience that is optimized for all rider types. The STYLO™ TECH FABRIK seat is extra supportive and has a super waterproof surface that provides a new level of comfort. VIVA MIX offers 23.9 liters of storage capacity and a built-in USB charging jack. VIVA MIX utilizes Gogoro’s POP System to provide a wide variety of interchangeable accessories allowing riders almost unlimited options for personalizing their Smartscooter to match their riding style.

GOGORO IQ SYSTEM 6.0
