[Word2Wise] : You Don't Want Your E-Bike To Go Boom!
06 Mar 2023 | Abstracted from The Gadgeteer
"880,000 e-bikes were imported into the U.S. in 2021...Consumer Reports...and several other media sources are reporting a high incidence of lithium-ion battery fires from e-bike and electric scooter batteries...a regulatory loophole for e-bikes priced at or under $800 that are shipped to consumers, to be tax-free and they are seldom inspected...
"All we can do is buy e-bikes that use batteries made by well-known makers like Samsung, LG, Panasonic, etc., charge and use the batteries properly, and be vigilant during charging, riding, and bike storage."
