There are 4 batteries on this electric motorcycle wired in series. "Series" means positive to negative connections like batteries in flashlights. In an electric motorcycle, you can wire a connection off a single battery and get 12 volts even if there are multiple batteries wired in series. This is useful if you have 12 volt electronics. Be careful though, some motorcycle wiring assumes the battery has been grounded to the frame.

The concept is the same for other devices that use multiple batteries.
