“We charge your BATTERY… so you can move around on your motorcycle! Under this premise, the Mexican company, Citio, operates a network of more than 25 battery exchange stations for electric motorcycles located throughout the metropolitan area, using the system known as Swap & Go.
During the last few years, advances on electric mobility have been accentuated worldwide in order to reduce battery recharging times, and Citio is part of the transition.
To take advantage of the company’s services, the first step is to acquire a motorcycle, and Voltium Gravity is the company’s model. Once the user owns the vehicle, he or she must select one of the eight payment plans available, which are designed for different lifestyles and mobility.
From those who want to move to places near their homes or go to the office, or even go for a walk and work on home deliveries, there is an option to suit their needs. Even if they have used up all the change for a month, they can recharge.
“We are the first battery exchange network that will bring the real advantages of electric mobility within your reach,” says the company’s website.
How is the Recharging Process?
The “key” to access the 25 exchange stations is the site card. With it, the driver can replace the battery of the motorcycle in seconds, as it allows to open the gates, insert the already discharged battery being used and subtract one with 100% energy level.
