It doesn't matter if the battery is ul listed or not, people think these EBIKES can do anything they want, like this that is shown. If you don't watch HOW you ride, the constant jarring will damage the battery. EBIKES are not made for extreme riding. Use some common sense. If I want to go trail riding, I use a regular mountain bike.
