Even with supercharging networks, you still need to wait multiple minutes to boost your batteries as compared to a gas station where you\u2019ve filled your tank in probably under a minute. Electric cars and bikes are still working around trying to find a more tenable solution, but Hanoi-based Carota Design has a clever alternative. The D05 Electric Delivery Scooter concept comes with batteries located in the bottom, but what\u2019s interesting is that they\u2019re only detachable from the bottom too (you can\u2019t lift them out through the top). As a result, the D05 also comes with a unique servicing platform that automatically detaches and replaces battery packs. All you need to do is drive onto the platform and park your electric scooter and an automated setup in the platform takes over the rest, detaching your old battery and inputting a new one, quite like a factory line. The process takes under a minute, is much safer than having humans remove and replace batteries, and is virtually theft and tamper-proof too, since you\u2019d have to tip the entire scooter over onto its side if you wanted to manually take the battery out yourself. Sure, it\u2019s just a concept for the time-being, but even on paper, it completely checks out.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.behance.net\/carotadesign\">Carota Design<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-479683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"855\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-479683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_2.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"855\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"a398ae893b99eb9a6e0b7793-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"a398ae893b99eb9a6e0b7793-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The e-scooter has a rather utilitarian design, given its function.

The D05 seats just one, has a low-hanging form factor that\u2019s made further stable by the base-mounted heavy Li-ion batteries, and even though it\u2019s fairly utilitarian, comes with a rather slick design featuring an interplay between silver and black parts, a clever use of lime green giving the e-scooter a splash of color, and hubless wheels that contribute to the D05\u2019s future-forward design.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-479677\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-479677\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_3.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-479678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-479678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_4.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"a398ae893b99eb9a6e0b7793-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"a398ae893b99eb9a6e0b7793-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The battery-changing platform is pretty simple schematically, but does require a fair bit of technical expertise. The scooter needs to be parked perfectly on the platform for the arm to extend outwards, grab the old battery, disengage it, and replace it with a new battery. It\u2019s rather similar to Tesla\u2019s self-plugging charging snake from nearly a decade ago (2015 to be precise) but doesn\u2019t require to be that calibrated. The battery modules move upwards and downwards, and one single platform can store as many as 7 battery packs (as per the schematic shown above), or even more if you detail it further. The process takes roughly a minute, quite like changing batteries on a TV remote, and once your new batteries are in, the scooter is ready to go.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-479679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"716\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_5.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-479679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_5.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"716\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad layout=\"fluid\" height=\"fluid\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/3847355\/yd-select-amp\"><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-479680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"716\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_6.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-479680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_6.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"716\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>That being said, having a replaceable battery system, no matter how convenient, does have its concerns. For starters, you need to produce MANY more batteries than EVs, since your battery network will have to account for availability, shortages, etc. That itself is a strain on the environment, but more so, the consumer faces a unique problem too \u2013 you don\u2019t know whether the new, charged battery being put in your EV has 100% battery health. The freshly charged battery being added to your e-scooter at the charging platform could be 5-10 years old and therefore offer less range than a brand-new one. Moreover, older batteries could offer vulnerabilities, making the overall system slightly unsafe if they\u2019re not monitored and taken out of circulation. In the broader scheme of things, having a charging network makes more sense because you can simply plug your e-scooter into any power outlet to be on the safe side instead of sw<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing out your batteries. Hopefully, EV companies could design a hybrid system of charging and battery replacement, making the adoption of EVs much smoother. Older batteries could eventually be recycled too, reducing strain on the environment in the longer run.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-479681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_7.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-479681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_7.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/10\/this-electric-delivery-scooters-base-mounted-batteries-can-be-automatically-changed-by-robots\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Electric Delivery Scooter\u2019s base-mounted batteries can be automatically changed by robots\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/auto-draft\/carota_d05_electric_delivery_scooter_7.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"swp-hidden-panel-wrap\" style=\"display: none; visibility: collapse; opacity: 0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n<span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sarang Sheth<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
