You won’t see articles like this posted on r/nycbike r/micromobilityNYC . Instead they asking why their building won’t let them charge one inside or how they can sneak one in the building.

There was discussions during the NYCHA fires. I don't remember the consensus. My personal take, if this can be addressed with regulation (batteries) and education (how to safely charge), that would be better than just banning them outright. I wouldn't want unscrupulous riders causing fire risks in my building but there is plenty of responsible ebike owners too.

Start forcing people to charge their e-bikes outside in the rain and you'll start seeing a lot more battery fires lol

This is awkward: https://www.reddit.com/r/NYCbike/comments/xre76s/consumer_alert_attorney_general_james_urges_new/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

You might want to check those subs before spouting off next time. Both of them have a bunch of threads about battery fires.

You said that you won't see articles about battery fires on those subs. That was a lie.

Accurate about sneaking scooters and batteries into buildings though. There are comments in the link above talking about bribing doormen.

If he wanted to complain about people not liking policies of their landlords, he could've done that without lying.

Maybe if the article had a picture of anything in a bike lane it would have more than 3 upvotes?

I have no idea what this comment means or how it's relevant to the string above.

You tried to post it as proof but it has almost no upvotes. Meanwhile the entire sub is pictures of something blocking a bike lane with hundreds of upvotes

Really your post proved OPs point.

The comment I replied to didn't say anything about upvotes, so again, I don't get your point.

Well, those folks are kinda extreme. Maybe there’s a way we can have outdoor charge stations that are still shielded from the elements
