Gogoro unveils scooter key in Apple Wallet for its Smartscooters

Gogoro 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, noted the press release. 

The 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.

“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.”

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.
