Micromobility Devices & Safety

Regulation concerns about e-bikes, e-scooters, & hoverboards

Safety First.

Ok, this is serious.

There are increasing numbers of fires as a result of lithium-ion batteries in small (aka. micromobility) devices such as e-bikes and e-scooters, and, *sigh*, those goofy hoverboards.

Small electric vehicles have plenty of practical uses and you’ve probably seen “The Youth” enjoying them around town and, quite possibly, in your neighborhood or apartment complex.

Thing is… where are people storing these items? Because, seriously, they are a significant and worrisome fire hazard.

What is to be done?

Please share your thoughts in the comments.

PS - I’m already aware I sound like a crotchety old man in this post. You can double down though.
