Ebikes Defy Ban as Batteries Catch Fire in E-Bike Shops

In den E-Bike-Geschäften in New York City werden weiterhin elektrische Fahrräder verkauft, obwohl die Verwendung von E-Bikes auf Stadtstraßen verboten ist. Diese Shops flout offen das Verbot und setzen die Sicherheit ihrer Kunden aufs Spiel.

Ein kürzlich durchgeführter Test zeigte, dass die meisten der verkauften E-Bikes mit minderwertigen Batterien ausgestattet sind, die leicht Feuer fangen können. Dies kann zu gefährlichen Situationen führen, besonders wenn die E-Bikes in geschlossenen Räumen wie Wohnungen oder Kellern geladen werden.

Experten warnen davor, dass die Verwendung von minderwertigen Batterien die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Bränden und Explosionen erhöht. Die Behörden haben bereits Maßnahmen ergriffen, um gegen diese illegalen Praktiken in den E-Bike-Shops vorzugehen.

Es wird empfohlen, beim Kauf eines E-Bikes auf die Qualität der Batterie zu achten und sicherzustellen, dass sie den Sicherheitsstandards entspricht. Die Verbraucher sollten auch darauf achten, dass das E-Bike in einem zugelassenen Laden gekauft wird, um mögliche Risiken zu vermeiden.
