Gogoro PH has officially launched its line of smart scooters in the Philippines. These cutting-edge vehicles are available in three models.
The lineup includes the Supersport, priced at PHP 285,000, The Delight, offered at PHP 270,000 and Lastly, the S2 Premium, available for PHP 255,000. Although prices for the Gogoro VIVA MIX, Gogoro VIVA, and Gogoro S1 models have not yet been announced.
In addition to the scooters, Gogoro PH introduces its subscription-based energy plans.
The Energy Plan 799, priced at PHP 799, includes 300Ah battery capacity, allowing for up to 420 kilometers of travel.
For those requiring more range, the Energy Plan 999, at PHP 999, offers 500Ah capacity, extending the travel distance up to 700 kilometers.
In addition to the fixed subscription plans, Gogoro PH offers a Pay per Use option for added flexibility. This allows riders to pay PHP 3.00 per Ah for any usage that exceeds their plan’s allocation.
The extra charges will be conveniently added to the monthly bill. This feature ensures riders only pay for the energy they need beyond their chosen plan.
Although the prices of the Gogoro PH Smart Scooters have been revealed, it’s still unclear whether buyers will need to pay the full amount upfront or if there will be financing options available.
We’re curious to hear your opinions on the pricing of these scooters. Share your thoughts with us.
While the introduction of Gogoro Smart Scooters in the Philippines marks a commendable stride towards sustainable mobility, the pricing strategy leaves much to be desired. The costs of the Supersport, The Delight, and the S2 Premium models, ranging from PHP 255,000 to PHP 285,000, are exorbitantly high for an average Filipino worker earning a monthly wage of around PHP 15,000 to 16,000. This stark disparity raises questions about the accessibility and affordability of these so-called ‘smart’ scooters.
On the positive side, the scooters are environmentally friendly and equipped with advanced technology, which is a step in the right direction. The subscription-based energy plans also offer some degree of flexibility and control over energy usage.
However, the lack of clarity regarding financing options adds to the uncertainty. If Gogoro expects to make a significant impact on the market, it must address these issues. Offering financing options or introducing more affordable models could be potential solutions.
Finally, while Gogoro’s initiative is praiseworthy, its execution, particularly in terms of pricing, needs a serious reevaluation. The company must remember that smart solutions should not only be technologically advanced but also economically accessible.

Totally agree. The pricing for the initial models is a bit steep, so hopefully, there will be financing options available soon. However, for the subscription plan, the pricing in the Philippines I think is more affordable compared to other countries. Additionally, we have more options here compared to what’s available in India.
Ok price has been release. In fairness to the price.comparison with china made ebike from binondo importer and branch..average price is around php15-17k for the low end model scooter,mid range scooter higher batter for 300km range is around php25k to 35k and the top of the line is scooter 500km+ is php100k.this comes.with warranty.for 1year battery and some offer lifetime service(parts excluded). GOGORO price is really like apple iphone and the china ebikes are.like android oppo,xiaomi..philipine bikers who can afford it will be the upper class a,b.. but for c,d,e market..good luck..GOGORO is a good brand..the.taiwan.market of GOGORO can afford it because.of the people purchasing power.i suggest.3-5years installment for Gogoro zero interest.but that is my.personal.opinion..btw i have a ebike for php17k travelling around.less than 30km range.good.enough for my short distance palenke and.errands
Thank you
