NEW YORK CITY LEANS ON PUBLIC FOR HELP WITH E-BIKE CRACKDOWN AFTER DEADLY FIRES

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City officials called on the public to help with a
crackdown on unsafe e-bike shops after a spate of deadly fires caused by lithium
ion batteries, the latest of which killed four people in Manhattan’s Chinatown
on Tuesday.

In the days since, fire officials have issued citations to 10 e-bike shops for
unsafe handling of the batteries. The inspections followed tips from members of
the public, the media and local politicians, officials said.

Daniel Flynn, the chief fire marshal of the FDNY, encouraged New Yorkers to
report “hazardous conditions” inside repair shops, such as batteries being
charged in close proximity, damaged-looking devices, or shops using extension
cords for charging.

“These fires go from zero to 100 in a second,” Flynn said. “If you feel within
yourself that there’s a dangerous situation, give us a call.”

New York City has seen over 100 fires and 13 deaths this year linked to e-bikes,
more than double the total number of fatalities from last year, officials said.
The bikes are popular with delivery workers, but can overheat if defective or
improperly charged, leading to fast-moving blazes that are difficult to
extinguish. The dangers are especially grave in cities like New York where
people live in close quarters.

On Tuesday, four people died of smoke inhalation and two others were
hospitalized after a fire in the HQ E-Bike Repair spread to upper floor
apartments. City officials said they’d previously fined the shop for its e-bike
charging practices, though inspectors reportedly did not check to see if the
store was selling reconditioned batteries on a recent visit.

Under new guidelines, fire officials will be directed to respond to complaints
about e-bike batteries within 12 hours, rather than the previous policy of three
days.

Flynn said the goal was not to criminalize repair shops, but to go after the
ones that aren’t properly handling the batteries. “We want to be clear that we
support the use of these devices, we just want them to be used safely,” he said.

The city has issued nearly 500 summonses related to e-bikes, which can result in
fines between $1,000 and $5,000.

The latest strategy, which will also include educational outreach to repair
shops, comes on top of a raft of other proposed reforms that aim to attack the
cause of e-bike fires. Later this year, the city will ban the sale of e-bikes
and scooters that don’t meet certain safety standards. The fire department has
issued public service announcements, while local officials have discussed a
“buy-back” program for low-quality batteries.

In March, Mayor Eric Adams said the city would bring new e-bike charging and
storage locations to four public housing developments across the city. But on
Thursday, following the latest deadly blaze, he acknowledged there were
outstanding questions about what it would take to ensure the devices are handled
safely.

“All of these good ideas have to be figured out logistically: how do we go about
doing it?” he said. “Nothing is off the table in trying to resolve this
problem.”
