Reply to comment by woakula in Approximately 53,000 hoverboards recalled over fire risks after 2 deaths by Goal1

To be fair you could say that about any lithium ion battery product. The bigger the battery the bigger the risk.

Even going with major brands won't guarantee anything, pretty much every company that has made a significant amount of bespoke lithium ion battery products has had a recall or two for overheating problems.

Also gasoline isn't much better. Dense energy storage is just naturally volatile, almost like it has lot of stored energy.

That’s why I drive a bike that is safely powered by burning wood. Makes a mean thin crust pizza too. Embrace the flames.
