As well as proposed legislation, the bike industry need to offer safer LFP batteries as an option. A larger LFP battery would easily fit on my Volt Metro and give me the same range that i have now, plus it would be cheaper.

I've moved all my ebike batteries into the shed, and avoided the temptation to buy a knock-off replacement battery for my Dyson. And yeah, if I lived in an apartment block I would not be comfortable knowing others were storing/chargimg high capacity rechargeable batteries on the floors below me.
