Well, I live in a tower block and I haven’t had anything new to worry about for a while…
>No one was injured, but there have been nine deaths nationally from ebike and e-scooter fires in approximately the last year
10 killed by XL bullies in that time, where’s the calls to ban e-bikes?
Alot of these ebikes and/or their batteries are manufactured in China and are made of subpar batteries with subpar protection. On top of that you’ve got random people modifying them to bypass thermal cutoffs, over current, over voltage, short circuit whatever protections… And that’s if those protections were there to begin with…
Lithium fires are also very hard to put out. Best to walk away and let it burn
