Didn't the so-called "lawyer lips" (seriously) solve the front wheel detachment problem years ago? The point of a QR is to be able to pop the lever and out comes the wheel. But for liability reasons front fork dropouts now have extra protrusions that force you to unscrew the QR nut by several turns before you can, in fact, get the wheel out.
Apparently not because newer disk-brake bikes now have thru-axles where the wheel can't pop out at all unless the axle is physically removed from the side.
It would appear that having a heavy, powerful e-bike would benefit from having the best possible braking/wheel retention system available. But still, whatever happened to responsible use? If a 10 year old gets hold of the car keys and goes for a joyride, sue the car maker?
