TAIPEI -- Competition is heating up in Taiwan's market for increasingly popular electric motor scooters. The business landscape, which has been dominated by a single player, is giving way to one where multiple competitors battle it out.
Upstart venture Gogoro has propelled the electric scooter market since entering it in 2015. Authorities in air-pollution-plagued Taiwan have been keen to offer incentives to reduce the cost of purchasing emissions-free electric scooters, and government support has played a key role in the company's rapid growth.
