Reply to comment by The_Question757 in Four times a week on average, an e-bike or e-scooter battery catches fire in New York City by geoxol

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.
