Not just e-bikes but scooters, and I'm convinced the main driver of these fires is delivery apps. Delivery app riders tend to have bikes with massive batteries to improve range and speed, but under-engineered electronics to cut down on cost. I don't blame them for trying to make a living but it'd be great if the delivery apps themselves could take a more proactive stance and maybe subsidize some "known good" e-bike brands so they're not creating an army of Alibaba-specials with minimal QC ready to burst into flames.
