Reply to comment by hollow-fox in Four times a week on average, an e-bike or e-scooter battery catches fire in New York City by geoxol
So before the accusation was:
>The folks on the left ignore all the risks of battery fires
And now its:
>It’s not a question of ignoring fire risks
So you've basically made my point for me.

Effectively reversing a policy without imposing any regulations or standards is “ignoring the risk”
My latter point is that there are of course folks who fear for fire risks of unregulated batteries. But they do not value that fear over the rights of deliveristas.

It's not, that's dishonest hyperbole. Your conclusion assumes that a (likely unenforceable) ban is the only policy approach available, which of course is wrong. There are other items being considered and, meanwhile, active outreach and education occurring, including: https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2022/consumer-alert-attorney-general-james-urges-new-yorkers-follow-e-bike-safety-tips
