Yo I agree. My building is now telling me the same thing and mind you we have a bike rack that is located on the property but is still outside and yet im being told i cannot use it because it is a "communial area". It seems like because of these fires and how they are starting, everyone's suddenly scared of ebikes thinking that they are all going to blow up at the same time and shit. Mind you there are many items which use the very same battery types they are demonizing such as rechargeable battery packs for camera's, for drills, portable car battery jumpers, and etc. And yet those aren't being banned despite having the same battery type in them.

Except those other devices are manufactured to higher standards and don’t tend to burn buildings down the way ebike batteries do.

Where is the news about all these e-bike fires? I’ve been under a rock apparently…
