Gogoro has officially launched its new JEGO electric scooter in the Philippines after its initial debut in Taiwan last March. Although the pricing and variants for the local market are yet to be confirmed on their social media platforms and website, the arrival of the JEGO in the country is highly anticipated.
Back in March, the JEGO was introduced as an affordable electric scooter targeting commuters. Building on the success of their VIVA model, Gogoro promises significant improvements with the JEGO, offering twice the range of its predecessor with customizable battery options. The JEGO comes in two versions: the JEGO One Battery and the JEGO Dual Battery. The major difference is in their range. The Dual Battery version can travel up to 162 km on a single charge, while the One Battery version covers around 79 km.
Aside from their battery differences, both versions share the same sleek design, color options (Red, Yellow, Blue, Grey, and White), and features like the B/W negative LCD dashboard, LED lighting, and SBS braking system. The Dual Battery version is a bit heavier at 97 kg, while the One Battery version weighs 87 kg. Both models feature 22.3 liters of storage space and prioritize rider comfort with more foot room and an expanded trunk.
Gogoro’s strategy with the JEGO focuses on simplicity and efficiency, aligning with current consumer trends that prefer reliable, no-frills options over high-tech extras. With low-maintenance, high-speed motors and a competitive price point, the JEGO could become a popular choice for commuters looking for a practical and eco-friendly way to get around the city if Gogoro Philippines will price is better.
For now, we’ll have to wait for the official Philippine pricing, Keep an eye out for updates, and let us know in the comments if you’re excited to see this electric scooter hit the streets!
