The ebike industry is largely unregulated. If there is any aspect that should have strict guidelines it's the damn batteries. I also wonder if someone has a container that can safely store such batteries and in case of a fire extinguish then. Lithium fires are no joke

Batteries have questionable lifespan too. Bought a used electric scooter for my son. Unknown to us, battery was on its last lifespan, needed replacement. Got two weeks out of it. Seller knew what they were doing.

Part of the lack of battery regulation for these things. A lot of them aren't easy to separate, a lot don't have overcharge protection, don't have overheat protection, poor wiring/ waterproofing as well.

They didn’t just know what they were doing, they scammed you.
