Well, I have heard that there are bicycles that require no source of energy except that provided by the rider, and create no pollution except from the CO2 emitted by the rider, or possible flatulence. I have never heard of one going up in flames.

Besides EV bicycles and scooters, there are also these much larger EV transportation devices that have much larger batteries (EV automobiles). The article mentions “luxury high-rises” as some of the sites of these EV bicycle fires. The landlords are starting to ban the EV bicycles within the buildings. How many of these “luxury high-rises” have EV charging stations for the EV automobiles? Logic dictates that the EV autos also be banned. If an EV auto causes a significant fire in a building, would the car insurance cover the lawsuits from each resident that was harmed/killed? I can just see the courtroom proceedings, and the lawyers arguing that this ‘unproven technology’ was allowed in the building’s underground parking without due diligence and appropriate warnings of the dangers. I can see the lawyers using the plethora of online videos of EVs bursting into flames, and the frustration of the firemen who cannot extinguish the fire, but just have to let it burn itself off. I can just see a future mandatory warning label on the EV dashboard: “”Warning. The Surgeon General of the United States of America advises that occupants be ready, at any moment, to exit the vehicle with extreme haste. Do not waste time grabbing your iPhone or latte. Be sure to grab any underage person who might not be able to recognize the fire danger.””

Exactly. When Chinese li-ion batteries have brand names like “Ultra fire” or “Surefire”, that should be a clue.

Back in 1970 and 1971 (yes, that long ago) I lived in an apartment in Chicago and kept my 10 speed bike in the apartment with me. No doubt most E bikers do the same. Makes for a big fire risk.

Are there any tips on roasting a turkey using a e-bike?
