THEMAGISTERIM YouTube Channel has this fire covered. The pile of burned ebikes and scooters they removed was huge. The ebike shop was under a 4 story apartment who are now all homeless.

I’m curious. There are a lot of lithium battery drones lost in trees and forests. Will those batteries eventually crack open and catch fire?

Probably not if they self-discharge over time.

Here are good links on the topic.

Very sound logic. With regular bicycles, your skills improved along the same lines as your physical fitness level.

What amazes me is that clueless tourists who have no idea how to get around town are able to rent ebikes here like those below and suddenly they are hurtling down perpetually clogged city streets with buses, taxis, cars and pedestrians.

We mostly have the electric scooter rentals around here. Most of the users are teens and young adults. People make nuisances out of themselves with them all of the time. To add insult to injury few of these companies would not be viable without government subsidies. And of course, consumers are also receiving huge subsidies as well.

Tax credits jump to $900 for e-bikes, $7,500 for electric motorcycles in Build Back Better Act
