Yep, consumer can’t really tell what is good or bad. Unfortunately the only way to fix that is ban sales of all ebikes that didn’t pass a certification of some sort. This will add an additional cost though

Yes, but less cost than buildings burning down. Some risks society doesn't let us take, and that's ok.

Some are already certified. It’s not THAT much of a problem.

It would impact gray-market bikes for sure, but, mostly delivery people are buying those, and maybe the city should go to the root of the problem: restaurants forcing delivery staff to buy their own ebikes but then paying low wages off the books
