With an ebike fire every ithery day in the city, I appreciate the alarm. The article does bring up some criticisms of delivery bike packs, how they are used 24/7 and subject to a very harsh life. Should ebike batteriess used in a be business be subject to a higher standard, or should all batteries have to meet this level.
As a hobbyist, I enjoy running on a $30 ninebot scooter pack. It's built better than any shrinkwrapped junk I've bought from China. I think import of the latter should be prohibited, unless thay can pass some standards, not because I already have one. I think they are dangerous. I plan to dismantle mine and rebuild it.
