Remember when bikes were the most efficient form of transportation with the smallest footprint?
I like that the article states that "lower-quality equipment usually causes concerns for their shop as opposed to items from Shimano, Bosch, or higher-quality e-bike brands" and later mentions the recall on the Santa Cruz Heckler. They didn't mention the Specialized recall.

The bicycle doesn't need to be electric. It's a wonderful form of transport. Minimal damage to the environment and it keeps the human fit. Unlike cars or any e transport. EV's damage the world just in different ways. Those batteries are not kind to the world. I'm glad I'm not young any more. I don't like the way the world is going.
I tend to agree on e-Bikes, but as cheap transport replacing cars they are great - less pollution and congestion. I'm not keen on the ones ridden off-road by people who look basically physically fit. But let's hope that they are a gateway into riding the old-fashioned way?
There's a large contingent of riders who only want to go downhill so ebike saves on uplift or gives more runs per day where there isn't one. Some downhillers migrate to enduro - some don't.

Any lithium ion battery has this potential. On any item.
