How do I "get ready" for this? Is there a form to fill out or class I should take? Do I need to tell my parents? WHAT DO I DO?!

They mean prepare your wallet or to wait an eternity. They are graphene based.

Or you could just use LiFePO4 batteries. It's significantly harder to set them on fire than other lithium ion types. They are affordable and readily available.

I agree! I really want a LiFePO4 ebike but I haven't seen one yet. Mostly because of the 3000+ charage cycles those cells can take. I'm guessing they aren't popular with manufactures because of the lower capacity. It hard to sell a bike with 1/3 the range or giant bulbus battery. Also they can't sell you a new bike or battery in 3 years when the shitty NMC cells wear out.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
