Taiwanese scooter company Gogoro lands $300 million in new funding

For now, Gogoro's main business is its scooter and battery-charging network in Taiwan, where it has 34,000 users and 400 battery-swap stations, including one every half a kilometer or so in big cities. Customers pay $10 to $30 per month, depending on usage. The company also has projects in Berlin and Paris, with close to 2,000 scooters in those cities.
