The charger with cables weights 5,75kg and you only need an adapter like this for type 2 connector (EU AC charger).

First, I'm still thinking about a more portable charger because I want to get a second unit and you can really find 220v plugs in any home, restaurant.
But I think we need both with a DC module for fast charging the bike, which could weigh less than 1kg and be extremely compact.
Can you expand on the DC module, I am fairly new to electric cars and motorcycles but really interested to see if the community can come up with a solution. Thank you for posting the two links. I presume the box on your bike has the standard charger integrated in there and you just plug in when you get somewhere ?

Eg tesla superchargers. They provide high voltage dc directly instead of ac. They can provide much more power and thus charge faster since the rectifying etc is done in the "charger". Basically it skips the on board charger or in our case the charger from the stand. Some solution to translate from how the bike talks to the stand charger to how the dc super chargers talk is needed. Possibly also firmware update on bike to permit faster charging.

For faster charging, I wonder whether the charging port, its high voltage cable and all the connections in between are rated to withstand more than 3.5 kW.

The ceo said it was possible in an interview. Even if not you could still charge at 3.3kw with just a smart adaptor, possibly incorporated into the bike.
