Show of hands... how many people are actually buying extra batteries so they can hot swap on big rides? a Bosch 600Wh is like $1,000+. I can think of a lot i'd like to do to my bike with that money before thinking about buying an extra battery

Most of my riding buddies have a spare or two. For the bikes that don't allow an easy change they have an extender.

Myself, I have two batteries for my Levo Gen 3.  It did come "free" as a promo though.

These days with newer, faster charging bikes, I'm not sure if I'll need a spare one.  Having a battery backup system in a car that will allow to re-charge the bike during snack times and lunches might be the way to go. I was using one on the trips hooked to a solar panel to replenish.
