Drinking the 3rd cup of coffee on Sunday morning cold as I've just discovered that #Gogoro has unveiled its #Eeyo #ebike series.

With a carbon frame and fork, clean lines, one gear and a belt drive, these pups weigh in at 12 to 12.5 kgs and rely on the Eeyo Smartwheel in the rear for support: The bulky hub houses the motor, the battery and the sensors. Yes, the battery is small, but this e-bike is built for #urban traffic. Finally a brand really going for the less is more approach! #bikebiz

Great to hear that #Gogoro as #Taiwan's leader in smart scooters is planning to enter the #eBike-market (think hybrid push bikes here, so no throttle) this summer with its news brand #Eeyo. They first intend to launch it in the US and then enter the European markets. If Gogoro manage to scale down their playfully-minded software and their battery swapping system known from the smart scooters to bicycles, this could be a big step for the industry.
