Zeno, a startup founded by former Tesla and Apple engineers, announced a $25 million funding round to accelerate production of its battery-swap motorbikes, featuring swappable packs designed for quick roadside replacement. The company said it has sold nearly 1,000 units since debuting the model, and the new capital is intended to expand manufacturing capacity and supply chain resilience.

The bikes pair a compact electric drivetrain with modular swappable batteries that riders can exchange to extend range without long charging waits, and Zeno is refining assembly and logistics workflows to meet growing demand. For consumers, faster production means wider availability of a low-emission urban transport option that reduces downtime for riders; the swap model aligns with trends toward battery-as-service and shared charging infrastructure in electric mobility.
