Kwang Yang Motor Co chairman Allen Ko stands in front of two Ionex electric scooters at a news conference in Taipei on March 18. Gogoro holds 77 percent of the domestic electric scooter market, while Kwang Yang only has 4 percent, according to the Industrial Development Bureau’s tallies. “You will not see KYMCO in our electric scooter commercials anymore.”The company has replaced the KYMCO label with Ionex for its new electric scooters, he said. Kwang Yang offers electric scooters to GrabWheels, an electric scooter sharing service arm of Grab Holdings Inc, in Indonesia, he said. To speed up deployment, Kwang Yang is considering signing up electric scooter riders who have space that can be turned into a small-scale battery swap station, he said.
