On July 17th, the CPSC announced the recall of approximately 24,000 sets of 36V lithium-ion batteries that come with an Ebike brand electric bicycle. The reason for the recall is the risk of battery overheating. As of the recall date, the brand has received 14 reports of battery overheating, which have led to 3 fires.

Although the safety certification systems for UL2849 (complete vehicle) and UL2271 (battery) have been established, they have not been enforced in most regions of the United States. Although this model claims to have passed UL2849 certification, it has not obtained the crucial battery safety certification, posing a safety hazard. According to reports, these products are sold on major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, and priced between $365 and $950. In some manufacturers' market strategies, product quality may be compromised to compete in the market through low prices.
