Insurance, registration, helmets, do it the right way. Go after stores/ sellers of fire prone batteries.

None of that is the right way. Dealing with the sale of sketchy equipment is.

We absolutely should be preventing the sale of unsafe batteries in the city and the US in general. The fact that the industry is completely unregulated is abhorrent.

I can’t believe the amount of effort that goes into preventing the import of, say, 20-year-old cars vs the amount that goes into preventing the import of unsafe electric transportation.
