E-Bike Battery Explodes in Elevator & Cooks a Man

[Independent thinker]

We should totally continue to invest our hard earned tax payer dollars in cheap, malfunctioning garbage energy.

I mean Chinese energy.

I mean GREEN energy.

As Salty so clearly conveys.



If you don't want people to die in elevators due to mechanical dysfunctional communist rot?

You want the Planet to die.

BIGOT.

I bought a new lawnmower last year. The big thing now is the battery powered cordless mowers to save the environment. I did a lot of research and discovered that a lot of these cordless powered what not tools are catching houses on fire and burning them down. I brought this up with a salesman in the store and he confessed that, yes, this can be something to worry about and suggested making sure you make it a point to turn off the charging mechanism when the battery is fully charged and not let it continue being plugged in after being fully charged. After giving it a few seconds of thought, I realized that no way in hell do people, on a regular basis, make sure that this crap is safe and that they don't get involved with other things and completely forget to do something like this and then go to bed at night. My one lawnmower is not going to save the planet and my one lawnmower is not going to kill the planet either. I'd rather not have my house burn down and maybe me or my family along with it.

So you never pedal yours, just tool around using the throttle, like the lazy Duckster. If I wasn't 70 I could get 600 miles out of a charge, so ignore that. lol You could just buy a real motorcyle, unless you just bought one because all those DWI's means they pulled your license, lol. The Duckster never had one, so don't go by him.

You're so full of shit. You ain't nothin' but a bullshitter.

Well, for all the noise about them it seems like at least of few container ships would have been burned up or exploded by now, it's been years since they started shipping them, after all, but I've heard zilch about that. I just chalk it up to Darwin Award winners and dumbassery. As I said earlier, just buy the UL approved name brands, or better yet just buy the corded electrics, extension cords are cheap; I mow the yard around the house with a 100' cord and my mower is about 8 years old.

I like to stand in the front yard and watch the Manly Man types fight with their hand cranks, pulling their spark plugs in and out and generally spending hours trying to get their Manly Man mowers running every spring while I drink a soda and laugh at the morons. Having to keep gas and oil cans in the store room and garage is just as stupid and buying cheap Chinese crap, anyway.

If you rewrite that in English maybe I'll understand what you are trying to say to me.

lol read your own post, you said you only get 20 something miles out of your battery, which is what most are rated at just using the throttle only, dumbass. That means you aren't pedaling at all, same as the Duckster. If you're actually pedaling and not just faking it in case people are watching, like the Duckster does, then you're going to get a lot more miles before needing a charge, just a fact which you're apparently oblivious to.

...., you said you only get 20 something miles out of your battery, ....., dumbass.

Reading comprehension and logic are not your best achievements, assdum.

lol so you know you're full of shit. Okay.

I didn't want to see that. That's bad.
That dude didn't have a chance. And I'm looking at ebike batteries right now. Sonofabitch!
They are not in the house, and I don't think they could catch the house on fire where they are, but that guy probably died, that's fucked up. I might would lose a bicycle, but losing a life is a different story.
Take the motherfuckin' ebike battery, I'd go with my life every time.

And they want to put those things on school buses. I can't think mny parents want their kids riding above a bomb that could explode anytime.
