Gogoro to integrate Apple Find My Network into
specific new Smartscooters® including the new Gogoro
CrossOver S in the coming months to allow owners to locate
their Smartscooter via the Find My app.
TAIPEI,
Taiwan, Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogoro Inc.
(Nasdaq: GGR), a global technology leader in battery swapping
ecosystems that enable sustainable mobility solutions for cities,
today announced that its Smartscooter® riders can
now add a scooter key to Apple Wallet on their iPhone and Apple
Watch. Smartscooter® owners simply hold their
device near the Smartscooter's® NFC-enabled reader to
unlock and start their vehicle. They will also be able to
seamlessly share their scooter key with other iOS users. This
capability is available to customers in Taiwan.1
Scooter Key in Apple Wallet will
debut on the newly-launched Gogoro SuperSport TCS, Gogoro Delight,
Gogoro CrossOver, and Gogoro CrossOver S
Smartscooters® beginning today. It will also be
available to more than 300,000 existing Smartscooter®
customers in Taiwan.2
"Innovation is a key component of Gogoro's strategy, and we
believe that revolutionary technology can have a positive impact on
culture. Scooter Key in Apple Wallet
delivers enhanced convenience to our new and existing customers and
we are excited to roll out to our vehicles starting today," said
Horace Luke, founder, and CEO of
Gogoro. "This feature will not only be available with our
latest lineup of Smartscooters, but more than 300,000 of our
existing Smartscooter customers will also be able to enjoy
Scooter Key in Apple Wallet."
Scooter Key in Apple Wallet helps
deliver an easy and contactless experience for riders, while also
providing additional security and privacy benefits. Once a scooter
key is added to Apple Wallet, users can hold their device near the
scooter's NFC-enabled reader to seamlessly unlock their vehicle.
With Express Mode, users don't need to unlock or wake their device
to use their scooter key in Apple Wallet - they can simply tap and
unlock. If an iPhone or Apple Watch needs to be charged, users can
still use the device to unlock their scooter with Power
Reserve. Adding a scooter key to Wallet is easy. From the
Gogoro iOS app, Smartscooter® owners can add their
scooter key to Apple Wallet by following the prompts within the
app. Once added, customers can also share their scooter key with
other iOS users via their favorite messaging app such as Messages,
LINE or WeChat— all directly from Apple Wallet. All users need to
do is tap "Share" on their scooter key in Apple Wallet, and
afterwards, they can easily manage or revoke shared scooter keys
from one place.
Scooter Key in Apple Wallet is
stored on the device and takes full advantage of the privacy and
security built into iPhone and Apple Watch. Apple and Gogoro do not
know when or where customers use or share their key, or who they
share it with. If an iPhone or Apple Watch is misplaced, the owner
can use the Find My app to put the device in Lost Mode and help
locate it.

Apple Find My Integration for Gogoro
Smartscooters®
In the coming
months, Gogoro's integration with the Apple Find My Network
will allow owners to locate their Smartscooter via the Find My app.
To enable this capability, riders will be able to use the Find My
app to pair their Smartscooter to their Apple ID. Gogoro's
integration with Find My will first be available on specific new
Smartscooters including the new Gogoro CrossOver S, with plans to
bring it to the entire Gogoro portfolio in the future.
