Gogoro: A battery swappable SmartScooter

0

CES 2015 is on and oh! we wish we were there!!! (cries) But no worrries…Internet cha ni! So, basically there are a lot of things being showcased in the CES at Las Vegas. But one of them really caught my eye; The Gogoro smartscooter.

WHAT IS IT?

 

Its a smartscooter by the company established by HTC ex-executives. In 2011, Gogoro raised $100 million and another three years it raised another $50 million. All of this actually happened in somewhat ‘Stealth Mode’…seriously no-one even realised! Now they’ve got to utilize all this money and what better way than creating a “better future”: A cleaner Future! That is what envisioned by the founders of Gogoro.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Gogoro is a normal electrical scooter with something different, i.e. its charging and discharging methods. Just like the concept in behind LPG cylinders, these scooters have hot-swappable batteries which will charge at the Gogoro’s EV Station. So practically there’s no charging involved on user’s end. Everything happens by default.

All this process and the charging happens easily under a minute. After that you’re are go for another 100 approx kilometers. So the obvious problem for this thing to happen arises: Will Gogoro be able to live up to its billings? I mean…they would need to setup an EV station every 50kms or les say 70-80 kms just in case. Though this is not an impossible thing given the infrastructures they have, its a little too far-fetched! But they are hopeful and oh wish they nail it!

I mean, its so cool! Look at the video above and you’ll see that the badass black-leathered guy does burnouts and side swipe turns. Its awesome. Plus, it has a really cool remote and Sound & Light effects…

Overall, the concept is really cool and i love the design! I don’t think this is so viable in Nepal for obvious reasons. Hence, when are we seeing this in Nepal? No Idea!! (sigh) Hopefully sometime!

Lava launches Iris Selfie 50 in Nepal

0

After the success received from Iris X1 and X5 in Nepal, Lava launches Iris Selfie 50 phone for Rs.14,500. Iris Selfie 50 is their new midrange phone that focuses on Selfie users. It is now available for purchase in different stores all over Nepal.

About the Phone

It comes with a 5 inch FWVGA display (854 X 480 pixels) with a pixel density of 240ppi and is powered by a Quadcore Broadcomm processor running at 1.2GHz and 1GB of RAM. There is 8GB of internal storage with up-gradable memory card slot upto 32GB. For taking pictures and videos, there is 8MP rear camera with Dual LED flash and a 5MP front camera with LED flash. Both these camera can record videos in FullHD resolution. It runs on Kitkat 4.4 .2 with minor Lava’s own tweaks and customization. The phone supports Dual SIM and include features like Wifi, Hotspot and GPS. The best part of this phone is it’s 2400 mAh battery & considering the battery only has to power a lower resolution screen and a low powered Quad core processor, we expect the battery life to be decent.

Our Verdict

Lava iris Selfie 50 is a good phone if you are into taking too much selfies. However, if you are a multimedia person and play games more often, then Iris Selfie 50 could be a setback as both the screen and the performance of Broadcomm chipset are mediocre and could let you down. There are better options in the form of Honor Holly and Redmi 1S.
