Plan to double power of e-bikes sparks fire fears

A proposal to double the power of electric bicycles in the city has sparked concerns among residents about the risk of fires.

The plan, which is being considered by city officials, would allow e-bikes to have twice as much power as they currently do. Proponents argue that this would make electric biking more convenient and efficient for residents, while opponents fear that the increased power could lead to overheating and potential fires.

City officials have stated that they are studying the potential risks and benefits of the proposal before making a decision. In the meantime, residents are urged to take precautions when charging and using their e-bikes to minimize the risk of fires.

It remains to be seen how the city will address these concerns and whether the proposal to double the power of e-bikes will move forward.
