It's pretty shocking how the market has failed so roundly to do basic cooperation. There have been some battery swapping alliances/consortiums formed in Japan and Europe, but afaik there's no infrastructure to support it like Gogoro. With some basic self monitoring, Gogoro seems to be more than enough, a "just works" system that more than proves the concept. That said, all of these systems seem to target pretty low power mopeds. Gogoro's top end models are 10 HP/7.5kW. The bike here can deliver 23kW and peak at 40kW (53 HP). All these pack designs are 48V models, which clearly isn't targeting high power applications. It'd be great to see a bigger battery spec that was built for higher power, using a 200V+ architecture. The bike here has a mild-ish 7kWh capacity - that's like 2-3 gogoro packs - but is 320v architecture; that's how it makes (and takes) power.
