How can you charge a spare battery off the bike? If you had a spare battery how could you charge it without putting it actully in the bike? I doubt the battery leads would reach to the spare battery sitting along side the bike?
As I understand it to charge the battery there are parts in the drivetrain (especially gen 2 as the charger plugs in to it) that are used to charge the battery maybe the vcu also?

As far as I know, you can't.
So that means if you have an extra battery, you have to charge it in the bike, then swap it out and charge the next one in the bike.

Yes, that or having 2 bikes. This could be what they're doing for Taddy B and Eddie Karlsson long enduro races, I really don't know.

Since batteries were not designed to be swappable I doubt Stark would provide any solutions for this.

On the other hand Flux moto is doing it. They're developing their bike with a 7.9 kWh pack swappable under 1 min and able to be charged independently from the bike.
