When will we start holding people accountable for these e-bikes incidents 🤷🏻♀️
How do we hold a person without a good income accountable? The only answer would be some kind of criminal record but what? Arson?
And we still haven’t banned them? No one cares enough smh
Because it's not happening in wealthy neighborhoods. Only poor people are using them and charging them unsafely.
Another preventable tragedy. Stop having those e bike batteries in your house/apartment
How many times does this have to happen before they ban these bikes. People need to stop bringing them into buildings
