Because very little about the common Chinese ebike stuff is well designed, or uses things within their specs.
For instance, quite a few scooters and battery packs used the IEC *AC* plug on the *DC* side of things, which has led to destruction or damage of battery packs in some cases, when the AC plug gets connected directly to the battery pack. (usually the chargers for thise don't have a separable AC-side cord, probalby specifically to prevent that sort of problem, but IEC cords are really common, so most people have one or more laying around, and don't necessarily understand the charger box is necessary).
All sorts of "little things" are misused in these systems, because they do work, often for a long time, before something bad (sometiems really bad) happens. But since it's already sold at that point, the manufacturer or seller doesnt' have to worry about it anymore, it's not their problem.
