In one embodiment, a micromobility transit vehicle includes a frame including a downtube having a recess, a battery configured to be received within the recess of the downtube such that an external surface is formed by the outer surfaces of the downtube and the battery, a power connector within the recess and configured to be engaged with the battery to establish an electrical connection between the power connector and the battery, and a spring assembly coupled to the power connector and configured to allow the power connector to move with the battery. The power connector includes one or more alignment pins configured to align the power connector with the battery when the battery is being received within the recess. The spring assembly biases the power connector toward a direction from which the recess is configured to receive the battery.
