I just made it up. People often refer to cheap bikes as BSOs. Bicycle Shaped Object. I just added E for electric as there is no real legal term for converted bike.

OP started this thread and asked some questions. Accusing him of being hysterical is unwelcoming. We do have a problem. Scale of it is disputable, but it is better to tackle it head on by research and educating people rather by denial and brushing it under carpet. Request denied. Flecc...

It is highly unlikely for a battery to explode. Battery might catch fire immediately after impact, hours, days or weeks later.

I have always suspected that and now I have written confirmation. If you think of it, who else would spend so much time on helping other people without any financial compensation?

Do you think Weekly Mail deprived access to certain voicemails is now fishing sensitive battery information on our cozy forum? Hmmm... it does make sense... I feel flattered :)

As enigmatic as always Lenny. I am not sure what you are trying to say. I know how to use google and one can't google what OP was asking in first post.

I strongly disagree. New members should not be discouraged from asking questions and opening new threads. Nobody is showing any signs of hysteria. There is an elephant in the room and it is better to address the problem rather than to brush it under the carpet. Yes, we talked a lot about it, but...

Here you can find some reasonably good advice: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/battery-safety-for-e-cycle-users/battery-safety-for-e-cycle-users

To find out more about quality of components and assembly you need somebody with knowledge and experience to open it and examine.

I don't think there is an ideal place to store batteries. For me it is a matter of priorities and simple risk assessment. I can buy new battery, I can rebuild shed. When I keep battery outside, I know my family is safe. You mentioned construction of fireproof box. Perhaps you should use your...

Of course basic pedals were included for reason you mentioned, but nonetheless bike was always shipped with pedals.

Somebody sold you a false sense of security. There is no way a bag or any other container can hold fire and toxic fumes (which are flammable BTW). https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/batteries-charging-routine.45703/post-702537 It won't stop battery fire. I wish it was possible. In case...

Very bad idea. Bag won't stop the fire and it might increase overheating.

All my bikes were delivered with pedals.

Fantastic. Do you have a drone?

Maybe... but as a whole your package delivers much stronger punch. What have you got? Spoke lights, strobe lights, extension handlebar rod, high vis jacket, full face helmet etc etc and all of that on a folder. I don't want to offend Seneagle, but when it comes to special effects he plays in...

Yeah... not my cup of tea either. Precisely. I feel sorry for all poor souls who will go there.

He posted same thing in few threads and opened a new one.

What color is it? Blue on TSDZ2 and white on TSDZ2B? Color is actually irrelevant to what I was trying to say :)

With lights on you would be the canter of this event. ... but there is still room for improvement. For example good sound effects: You can install decent size bookshelf speakers as panniers and subwoofer in basket on handlebars. ;)
