I was going to say: isn’t there something that they can do?
Allow and deny lists for brands or models of bikes?
Rules based on battery Ampere-hours?
Fire-proof bags or storage area (automatic lithium-fire extinguisher) for small ebikes?
Free certification/condemnation by a bike shop or other licensed technician?
Battery+charger swap* programs (free or very cheap) for safer batteries of similar voltage/amps? Though I don’t know if the production is there yet. (And it may be way too expensive.) *=the lithium batteries (or even cells) being reused and managed in more controlled settings
Could they give free public charging that monitors battery temperature (with temperature alerts), particularly if safe slow charging is ideal for the battery tech anyway. (Also perhaps expensive, but maybe less expensive than some water fountains)
Or just city-owned battery swap stations, though I expect battery compatibility would not be great.
A better de-icing solution?
At this point I think the greater issue is that fans didn’t learn from Starfield (or FO76, arguably FO4/Skyrim too at least enough for a trend line if you care about the RPG aspect of it). Why would Bethesda ever change course if they continue raking in money? It really seems like people aren’t even waiting for reviews.
I was going to say that it’d be a coin flip on if this actually has the same re-occurring bugs that the UOP fixed, though I see that it’s going to be 3rd-party so that may change the odds a bit.
