Taiwan is HTC country. iPhone is a foreign status symbol. A scooter is just "something everyone has". There are more registered scooters in Taiwan than people!
I showed my friends here (Kaohsiung) the Gogoro scooter a few months ago, and they said they would never buy it. Their reasoning was exactly as the grandparent comment said: there are cheaper alternatives. They said it's also ingrained into the culture to go for the best deal even if something which costs slightly more is much better.
