Hero MotoCorp Ltd., the world’s biggest maker of motorcycles, will adopt Gogoro Inc.’’s battery-swapping technology as its bikes go electric, betting on a shift to clean-energy vehicles in India and other potential growth markets.

Hero and the Taiwan-based electric-scooter startup, backed by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, will form a joint venture and build battery stations across India, where two-wheelers are a common form of transport for many of the nation’s 1.3 billion people.
