Very slick battery swap design/UX . I’d much rather see these on the streets than all the e-scooters (not that they’re going away any time soon).

Interesting concept....especially since that video is from 2016, and this is the first I’ve  heard of them.

i hate lectric scooters

scares the bejeebus out of me when they zoom past from behind when im riding

cant hear them at all until they are almost next to you

its a little unnerving to suddenly hear an electric whine as its flies by doing about 30kmh more than me

That’s over 100km on a charge, not bad at all!

Can’t imagine wanting to go farther than that in one shot on a shooter!

Nope, I’m just impressed as that is a lot of commuting before you even need to swap batteries!

Yup, and I assume you can just charge them at home/work as well.
