nah, those fires are because of cheap batteries, the quality of the batteries sold need to be better regulated. similar shoddy batteries as to what was sold in a lot of those hoverboards that was really popular a few years ago.

Electric Bike Lithium Battery Primer

snippet:

BMS (Battery Management System)

A lot of DIY’ers these days are making the extra effort to install a BMS in their home built batteries. Adding a BMS is the way to go if you want your battery to be fire safe. BMS’s can range from a simple hobby king cell log with an audible alarm if the pack gets too low or too high, to an expensive custom-made BMS complete with pack shut offs.


LiPo packs that are homebuilt (without a BMS) can be extremely dangerous if you do not approach your battery with a lot of knowledge and care. Be sure to research extensively before building such a pack. Many E-bikers construct packs with no BMS using Turnigy/Zippy packs, acquired cheaply online through the Hobby King company which is based in China. For those who risk running their batteries without BMS they still use sophisticated chargers to balance their packs and constantly monitor the health of their cells.

they're not the size of e-bike batteries and people aren't storing dozens of them around

same logic is applied to guns




maybe the feds will further regulate batteries but I'm sure the cheap ones are everywhere and people riding e-bike are mostly poor immigrants




your e-bike isn't worth anyones life, bro

e-scooters with shoddy batteries have exploded as well, you want to ban those too?

i understand the concern, but the government should have a inspection and buy back program for these batteries and actually regulate the manufacture/sales of these poorly built batteries.

the utility of e-bikes for long commutes have been proven. banning them would be like banning electricity because it causes fires and electrocutions like the people who opposed it warned it would.

No new funding for violence interrupter program, despite Adams' promised expansion

On the campaign trail, Adams said he would find $500 million in savings to redirect toward violence prevention programs. The city's Crisis Management System is funded at $100 million — the same level as last year.
