Gogoro scooters are popular as they offer users a convenient way to remove and charge batteries. Users are able to sign up for the Gogoro GoShare by downloading either the iOS or Android app, then uploading a photo of their driver's license. Gogoro implements an AI-based facial recognition software to check if the picture matches the user.
