GoShare is a short-term EV scooter rental company that also has a companion battery as a service business model. I remember using a similar service in San Francisco, called Scoot, but you couldn't replace the battery on those scooters. Anyone could sign up for Scoot - even foreign tourists visiting San Francisco.
I tried to sign up and use GoShare in Taiwan as a foreigner. There are some challenges to using GoShare as a foreign visitor. But I really wanted to check out the battery replacement station, so I tracked one down to see if something like this would work in US cities like San Francisco, LA, or New York.
