In that case, it would be awesome to have some sort of standard battery for e-bikes, scooters, etc. Then you can just stop by some battery switching place swap one out on demand.

The other amazing benefit for this plan is that batteries are expected to fail and loose capacity after a few years. So being able to easily swap the most vulnerable component is awesome for long-term repairability!

Gogoro has become the standard. Yamaha, Aeon, PGO, and likely others are already using their swap stations.

Kymco has their own design and partnerships, but are way behind now on reach and marketshare.
