Just allow only city approved batteries for sale, make it come with serial marked and a visible approval sticker that must be display all times, bike and battery must be licensed, with x frequent inspections at city center. Would ppl fake the stickers sure. But if caught especially after a fire incident, massive penalties.

I think we need inspections tbh, even if people buy good quality batteries if they're riding them around in salty slush and rain they're going to eventually corrode.

Yup just like any vehicle atm. Need it regulated, registered, licensed, inspected and insured. Ebikes should be no exception

The pigs cant even enforce fake license plates. You think battery stickers would be enforced?

Expired car inspection tickets are enforced pretty well & vigorously by meter maids.

There's no rampant cases of expired registration/inspections stickers of cars in this city. Meter maids actually enforce and ticket for these events. Lic plates is another story and enforced by another group

So cars that are never parked illegally dont get tickets. So meter maids are gonna enforce battery stickers effectively? On bikes that are never parked in parking spots?

Negative.
