Or you could just use LiFePO4 batteries. It’s significantly harder to set them on fire than other lithium ion types. They are affordable and readily available.
I agree! I really want a LiFePO4 ebike but I haven’t seen one yet. Mostly because of the 3000+ charage cycles those cells can take. I’m guessing they aren’t popular with manufactures because of the lower capacity. It hard to sell a bike with 1/3 the range or giant bulbus battery. Also they can’t sell you a new bike or battery in 3 years when the shitty NMC cells wear out.
