My bike has fallen into a swimming pool while switched on (don’t ask)
You’re not the boss of me. What happened?

The people who made my electric bike also make professional bicycles for Olympians. Pretty sure the battery is reliable and isn’t going to explode.
My bike has fallen into a swimming pool while switched on (don’t ask) and nothing happened. Literally it didn’t even register anything had happened it just carried it on.

The bike felt the battery heating up and wanted to cool down

That’s why I never buy sapient vehicles. That and the whole “is this slavery?” issue.

I want my vehicle to be sapient enough to moan when I whip it

The problem is telling the difference between a good bike (noting that even Samsung screwed that up with the Note 7…) and these: cyclingweekly.com/…/fire-brigade-calls-for-e-bike…

Yours may be fine.
Barry Shitpea’s £100 dodgy 2000W temu special may not. And you can’t expect a bus driver to inspect every bike to only let reputable brands on.

My coworker bought one for $500 shipped. I highly doubt that battery has been properly inspected, especially since just buying a battery with similar capacity costs more than that.
