Imagine the legislative hysteria if they were gas powered scooters......
Why did I read that as F Lee Bailey Fires?
Easy solution for NY City - just OUTLAW bringing the batteries from E-Bikes indoors. Hard to see a downside.
When you buy the cheapest possible batteries and chargers from china this is what happens.
I don’t know why anyone would expect something different.
At least Boeing puts their 787 batteries in a steel fireproof box
Crap Chinese batteries.
Cheap crap e-bikes from China, blow up and start fires. Who’d a thunk!
A functioning Federal Government would recall and ban these things until the charging problems were fixed.
too many batteries these days- batteries for cars, tablets, laptops, cell phones, ear buds, power tools, lawn mowers, weed whackers- etc etc etc- and now tons more batteries being made for electric vehicles-
“Many e-bike fires start when people charge them overnight, allowing them to overheat.”
Why wouldn’t the battery have a thermal switch that would stop charging on an overheat? That sounds like a simple and cheap solution.
