What to avoid when buying an electric bike?
Purchasing from unknown brands increases the risk of safety hazards due to poor manufacturing practices or inadequate quality control measures. It’s crucial to avoid e-bikes with unbranded or low-quality batteries and chargers. The quality of the battery significantly impacts both the lifespan and safety of the e-bike. The most common type of ebike battery is a lithium-ion one. Lithium-ion batteries are generally regarded as the safest, but a telltale sign that you’re shopping from a trusted brand that prioritizes safety is whether their ebikes are compliant with ul certification standards.
