    E-Bike Batteries Are Catching on Fire Way Too Often And delivery workers are demanding safe charging stations.

    Why should they be sued if some fool wrecks the bike or overheats the battery causing a fire? No inspection in the world can be done that will prevent stupidity on the part of an operator or a part failure at some future point. There no legal way to say for certain what will happen to any...

    Or the greedy delivery companies can stop buying cut rate batteries thrown together in someone's basement.

    Bike rental places get real busy in the summer. Hot days, hot batteries. Throw in a busy day and I can easily see how this could happen. No battery cool down time.

    E-Bike Batteries Are Catching on Fire Way Too Often And delivery workers are demanding safe charging stations.

    You have it right. The vast majority of battery fires are from people buying junk, diy batteries from shady sellers. The most fires are happening in big cities like NY with delivery drivers. The companies are cutting costs by buying junk batteries thrown together by shady illegal operators...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    Ecotric will stand behind the bike and every part on it for 18 months. If you got a bad battery, controller etc. they will give you a new one. If possible keep the batteries indoors during the freezing weather. Then soon as possible, use the battery. Let the cells work. Do like they asked and...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    You may have just gotten a lemon. I did, from them. But the new one they sent me has worked fine going into year 3. I'm getting another one today from them for backup. Too hard to peddle up big hills with no power. lol. I would play nice with those guys. They will give you another one. Offer to...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    Ez-Did you use the new battery for a while, like they asked? They said it needs to be used a while to srart holding a charge. I also read that info other places. As long as it has 51 volts it should be good. I would ride around for a few weeks and recharge after every long ride, then see if it...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    Self discharge is normal with bike batteries, especially when new. Takes a little time for cells to balance out. You can find lots of info on it everywhere. Mine loses a little sitting, so does my scooter if left for long periods, like a few months. I just always charge both after every ride...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    All batteries self discharge if left sitting. It is normal. How much, and how fast depends on if they are kept indoors or not. I keep me and my gf bikes inside in winter. That is a good price for that battery!

    Thoughts Of An Experienced E-Biker

    You would think there would be fed money to states to improve on making biking more popular with commuters. Creating more bike lanes on all city streets as well as bike trails going in and out of cities would really help with not only traffic from hell, but to keep the air cleaner. As the ebike...

    Thoughts Of An Experienced E-Biker

    Well said. The gender and age of ebikers is changing fast as more and more people grab one of these wonderful pieces of technology. We do need the Feds to know we DO need more bike trails and bike lanes on every major street in the country. I'd also like to lighted bike trails with occasional...
