The Swappable Batteries Motorcycle Consortium has been working on a big project since 2021, and they’ve just reached a new milestone. They’ve made a prototype, which is like a model, for batteries that you can swap out ofYamaha
, and some newer tech companies. They all came together to figure out how to make it possible to switch out a bike’s battery quickly instead of waiting around for it to charge. This could make electric bikes more appealing because you won’t have to wait hours to charge up.. They tested them out to make sure they work well. They’re planning to make even better versions in 2024 and then test these out in real-life situations.
Now, the SBMC has 32 different companies in it, showing that a lot of people in the business think this battery-swapping idea is good. They’re going to a big motorcycle show called EICMA in 2023 to talk about what they’ve done and what they plan to do next.keeps going like this, pretty soon you could be riding an electric bike and just switch out the battery quickly when it runs out. This could make electric bikes a much better choice for more people.
