Gogoro and belt drive tech company Gates have partnered to co-develop “Flo Drive,” a two-wheel vehicle drivetrain system based on Gates Carbon Drive that will be exclusively available to vehicle makers within the Powered by Gogoro Network. This tech isn’t all that new, but as cities are getting more strict about sidewalk riding and parking, this could be a good, cheap solution for many operators. It basically asks for an “AI parking selfie” so the algorithm can detect if the scooter is in a respectable location or not. Luna, the computer vision company that’s trialing its tech with e-scooter company Voi to keep riders off sidewalks, created a demo for a low-cost, app-based solution for operators that want riders to verify parking compliance. Segway will build 1,000 bots for Coco to be launched in the first quarter of 2022. The company is partnering with robotics company Coco to provide the robotic base for the startup’s newest vehicles.
Segway, every shared micromobility operator’s favorite scooter manufacturer, is dipping its toes into sidewalk delivery robots. Anyway, e-scooters will be coming back to Miami on January 15, but with strict new safety measures in place, including riders being required to wear helmets and ride at 10 miles per hour on sidewalks, no side-by-side riding and only two operators can be on a block at a time. They probably read my rant last week and were convinced, nbd. The Miami City Commission has thankfully voted to reinstate its e-scooter pilot program, which it had briefly shut down due to safety concerns.
