I'd argue that battery swaps are a bit inconvenient and not the ideal solution in my opinion. I'd much rather someone find a way to charge quicker.
The only motorcycle that I know which had quick swapping abilities is the Zero FX for some years. Which is cool for taking out on the trails but these batteries are heavy man, for only like 3.6 KW, which is only like 30 miles or less for those models.
P.S: I own a Zero FX, just not the one that you could swap batteries on.
