On 7 December 2015 The New York Times reported: Across Asia, motorized two-wheeled vehicles provide mobility for the masses, but emissions from hundreds of millions of scooters and motorcycles are responsible for more than half of traffic pollution in many cities. This year, a Taiwan-based startup called Gogoro has been using the scooter-filled streets of Taipei to test its Smartscooter, an electric scooter with an efficient all-electric drive train, sleek design and Internet of Things ingenuity. But Gogoro doesn't want to be called a scooter company. It sees itself as an energy services company at heart. Gogoro scooters are powered by two lithium-ion batteries that use the same Panasonic cells as Tesla batteries. When it's time to swap in fresh batteries, a smartphone app offers directions to the closest station with available batteries. The Taipei government is actively promoting electric scooter purchases.

Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of science and government, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
