“17 ah of explosive lithium power”

LOL...nice double entendre!

I bought my wife a Trek E-bike for her birthday last year. It has a Bosch battery and charger system. I’m still scared to death storing it in the garage, but that’s where it is.

I couldn’t afford a Trek but ordered a decent mid-motor-mount e-MTB with full suspension. I don’t know what configuration your wife’s is but the hub motors overheat and won’t go where I want to go off-road. The mid motors use the advantages of low derailleur gearing for steep hills.

Lots of people remove the battery and store it / charge it in a relatively safe place (middle of yard? lol). Usually just a turn of the key to unlatch it. That’s one thing you can’t do on a Tesla!
