How often are the batteries igniting like a Tesla? I'm very seriously considering getting an ebike before potential tarrifs, but I'm wondering if I should keep it in a shed or if I should charge it in our attached garage.

I currently have a Prius in the garage. I'd be comfortable if the stats are similar.

I've heard of cheap Temu/Wish ebikes blowing up, but I haven't heard about the safety of regular brands.

They're not exploding that often. But you need to buy a decent one

Yes it's wonderful having an e-bike. It really takes the dread of being tired going up a hill or carrying heavy luggage away and makes you want to take it everywhere.

Just make sure you have an appropriate place to put it and charge it.
