When I was a young man, it was common to see notices on 240volt switch boxes and fuse boxes saying "Danger high voltage". Then the European Community decided that the definition of high voltage was somewhere around 800volts, I forget the exact figure. So presumably it was their intention that these warning signs should now read "Danger,low voltage". I never saw any examples of this , and they could have been misleading. Some people may have thought that, as it was low voltage, it was safe to touch in an emergency. So these signs now read "Danger of death by electrocution" or something very similar.
It is easy to be misled into thinking that because you do not normally get a shock from an E-bike battery, that there is no danger. The danger is in short circuiting the battery which can cause burns, flash damage to eyes, and even the occasional explosion.
Incidentally, you can get a shock from a 12 volt battery on a boat if your skin is wet with salt water.
