How often are the batteries igniting like a Tesla? I'm very seriously considering getting an ebike before potential tarrifs, but I'm wondering if I should keep it in a shed or if I should charge it in our attached garage.
I currently have a Prius in the garage. I'd be comfortable if the stats are similar.
I've heard of cheap Temu/Wish ebikes blowing up, but I haven't heard about the safety of regular brands.
E-bike makers are going through certifying bodies like the UL in the USA to have their batteries tested. It's not widespread but getting better, look for certified batteries.
