Thats pretty nifty I know in San Francisco they have Scoot electric scooters but this takes it one step farther with battery swapping stations.

The homeless street people in SF are going to love those battery dispenser facilities.  ::)

That's why we can't have nice things =P  Look at all the craziness going on with those dockless scooters, Americans... =/

That would be cool though if Zero did something like that with the FX/FXS since it has a removeable battery.

My oldest granddaughter is attending the Freie University in Berlin. She reports that the bus and train systems there are beautiful. They are always on time, very clean and orderly and she doesn't have to wash off her shoes after walking on the streets. Why can it be so nice there and not here? I am sure I could rant more regarding this subject, but I probably shouldn't.  ::)
