I paid about 80k TWD to get a Gogoro 2, and then a 900 TWD monthly plan to get all you can ride . A bit higher than combustion scooter, but worth it. @@amaliahightower
It has potentials and it's the best idea for climate change and pollution electric motors since Philippines is more into buying motor than cars. I think it would sell good if they give it a design that Filipinoes will like. And the price also

The problem that will always plague every single battery swapping technology is the longevity of the electrical connectors. Essentially, it is very difficult to make a connector that can handle the amps and the plug and pulls over time. The connectors will wear out and the quality will drop if the companies maintenance on the batteries falls behind. There will also be a wear and tear on the connector ends that are part of the scooter. And that maintenance will depend on the owner of the scooter. It's not my intention to poo poo this tech, but only two enlighten people on the engineering problems behind this. I cannot speak the economic issues for that is not my forte other than will the profitability be sufficient enough to cover the overhead costs of battery maintenance and cost of charging? I'm sure there's a number that works, but will that number work for the consumers?
You forgot the most important advantage to electrical, it’s better for the environment because it runs cleaner than gas engines. If only all the jeepneys were the same, the Philippines would be a much cleaner place🙏🏼
@@derekwatson7037 not if they import the battery from a country that charges it using more environmentally friendly ways. Don’t fret, Alberta will sell Philippines reasonably priced LNG then the PH will begin producing cleaner energy.
@@derekwatson7037 the incentive programs will balance out the costs. It’s like purchasing an electric vehicle in the west, most people wouldn’t purchase one without it.

Thank you Mergim you have done your homework well and you probably should know we defend on any interesting info but only from you . Since you are a very curious blogger you’ll pick up more info than the others! Be safe and have fun!!
The best thing about your content is the innovative future✅ Today is the last day of sim card registration. Don’t let your sim deactivated guys, 😮According to the news, there is an extension for the sim card for 90 days.
Gogoro needs to have an app to show locations of batteries and maybe u can reserved and pay online so it will avoid problem of unavailability. I don't want to get stuck waiting for bat to be fully charged.
Revolutionized vehicles are good for the environment 💚 I just wish it’s cheaper here in the 🇵🇭 especially electric cars. It seems like vehicles are more expensive here compare to 🇺🇸 It doesn’t make sense if they manufacture in Asia like Japan n Korea. Wow…I’m surprised to see the free parking 💙 When i went to Landers in BGC, the parking fee is 50 pesos for 3 hours then after that it’s 50 pesos additionally every hour. I went to Mitsukoshi and their parking is cheaper, 60 pesos for 3 hours, 20 pesos additionally every hour. Imo…I think both sucks! I think MOA has a better price of all which is 50 pesos all day. IKEA is the same as Landers in BGC which I don’t get?! I’m frugal 😂
The US is a car-centric country. Americans love their cars to the point where they can't live without it. It is no longer a want for them but a need. Hence, the cheaper prices of cars there.
12:26 That's The Gramercy Residence (beside the Trump tower). They have rooms available in Airbnb. We stayed there last Holy Week and it was such an amazing experience with amazing views ☺
Glad you are blending in & able to adapt & adjust to the culture of the Philippines. Try learning some Tagalog more & one day who knows, you'll be one of them. Enjoy your long stay there!👌👍😊
No thanks and I don’t like the idea of a possible shut down/shut off if an authority wanted to control movement. They can’t control a gas powered vehicle.
Gasoline scooter advantage is not really the range but the availability of gasoline stations, if gogoro is able to setup these quick swap stations the gogoro would inevitably replace your gas motorcycles. 😂
Good to have an option for electronic vehicles but will definitely wait to see the eco system, example the swapping station, how well its gonna maintain, imagine travel far and wanting to swap but most of the battery or station not working this gonna be hell
what on earth Globe doing in that event. The last thing i want is tracking where you go. It seems to be the trend these days. If i go electric, ill definately remove any tracking devices in my bike.

Keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think we can apply this concept for modern jeepneys/e-jeepneys.🤔
That's a huge step toward electrifying the Philippines!
Thank you Chairman Mergim, for bringing smiles to us with your amazing content.
Yes, I have a gogoro for 3 years. Very powerful and energy efficient, and yet quiet
If you don’t mind...how much did you pay?
cost of your gogoro please

Yes Ma'am from the capital of England. He said it often times.
It does look like an electric Piaggio Vespa. 👍

wow mergim you are very famous ggodluck and keep up tha good work
I'm actually looking forward to seeing better infra support for BEVs in the near future.
Cheers man wish i was there vlogging
Glad to see you exploring the different places in the Philippines..Nice culture and people..Thanks for sharing your adventure
The Chairman out and about rubbing elbows with the right people.
BGC looks like the future of the Philippines, but you won't experience a lot of local Filipino culture there.
Mergim -- Those e-bikes look positively mod. As in, "we are, we are, the mods!"
Ever think of adding color to your wardrobe? Just curious
More reason I enjoy your vlog Mergim...there is always something new ....or exciting even it's ordinary...he.he.he....
Thank you for sharing this new tech ... All the best and stay safe ride safe!
My idea of bringing down the carbon footprint is more tree
That's a good start; if the price is competitive to gas scooters, it should do really well.
wow from chairman to ambassador of electric vehicles ❤ soon we will see you in a big tarpaulin ads

Nonsense. How is the electricity generated? By burning oil.
@@derekwatson7037 not if they import the battery from a country that charges it using more environmentally friendly ways. Don’t fret, Alberta will sell Philippines reasonably priced LNG then the PH will begin producing cleaner energy.
@@FilCanGil So the battery would be exported for recharging each time and then imported again for use. Fantastic. Don`t go into business bud.

Wow! Good news on these electric scooters! Keep at it₱ 👏👏👏👏
Excellent.
Very informative as always. thanks Mergim.
Great job researching $1160 US plus charging 👏
Thank you Mergim you have done your homework well and you probably should know we defend on any interesting info but only from you . Since you are a very curious blogger you’ll pick up more info than the others! Be safe and have fun!!
Keep showing us those sunsets!
Better if they could have a system in the motor that could track near battery station replacements

The most pogi foreign vlogger in the Philippines
The most articulate too.
stay healthy
Hopefully those battery will charge cheaper, as you know ayala affiliated companies hmmm kinda expensive 🙂

Thanks Mergim for vlogging new ideas about new transportation
Good morning Mergim, 1st keep safe always 🎉🎉
We've been there mergim...the place is nice..but we didn't know that had trump tower near firefly...
I like the new grey sneakers Mergim!
Gogoro's about $2,200. So, maybe with taxes it can cost around P150K at least?
Good afternoon Mergim 🇺🇸 Good morning🇵🇭❣️😍🥰👋🎋🍀🙏
Gogoro was release in taiwan 7 years ago...
Yahoo... 1st😁😁😁
Yay
Awesome 👏
Nice to see Jaime Agusto Zobel de Ayala (the only mestizo one) there 1:29
This is informative!
These are $2950.00 in the US. They have many different models with different prices, and ranges.
In the early 90’s remember that the philphos bldg used to be the tallest. Hahaha time has changed
No thanks and I don’t like the idea of a possible shut down/shut off if an authority wanted to control movement. They can’t control a gas powered vehicle.

👍🏻🇵🇭
Wow
Trump Tower and The Gramercy Residences from Century Properties...
In Taiwan P200,999.
Gasoline scooter advantage is not really the range but the availability of gasoline stations, if gogoro is able to setup these quick swap stations the gogoro would inevitably replace your gas motorcycles. 😂

Wow more electric vihecle in citys
Good to have an option for electronic vehicles but will definitely wait to see the eco system, example the swapping station, how well its gonna maintain, imagine travel far and wanting to swap but most of the battery or station not working this gonna be hell
It’s pretty reliable here in Taiwan
How many Gogoro stations are there now?
what on earth Globe doing in that event. The last thing i want is tracking where you go. It seems to be the trend these days. If i go electric, ill definately remove any tracking devices in my bike.
Do you own a mobile phone?
Spaghetti wire are everywhere I hate it! City always will be ugly in my opinion if there's Spaghetti wire! PERIOD
Pano pag baha? Example na dyan yung baha sa lacson avenue hahahaha
Gogoro so expensive in the Philippines
Sleek and sassy.. cute for female riders.
Are you open minded? Let's sit down and talk ..networking 😅
Hhahahahaha
Yes its a trump tower its so funny that you are more knowledgeable about Makati than true blooded Filipino. What a shame 😅
0:26
keep them in check withinn BGC if it goes outside BGC oh no kamote riders ! 😅
What’s kamote rider?
or kapag sa mejo walang security nalagay ung charging station abangan ng mga holduper.
@@amaliahightower dumb motorbike drivers, search on youtube kinda amusing ......at times
@@sarahcopey di uubra sa normal na siyudad pang BGC lang

the design looks so old and ugly it's 2023 give us a new design a modern design
