Gogoro, the Taiwanese two-wheeler battery swapping giant, says that its smart electric scooters can now be unlocked and turned on via a key in a rider’s Apple Wallet on their iPhone or Apple Watch. Vehicle owners will also be able to share their scooter key with other iOS users.
Digital keys have been trending in the electric vehicle space for the last few years, with automakers like Tesla, Hyundai, BMW and many others getting on board and both Apple and Google enabling the integrations. The use of digital keys in the two-wheeler space is less common, making Gogoro one of the first to implement the tech on a wide scale.
