The rumors of my untimely demise are greatly exaggerated.

A client of mine is a firefighter, and he said that the the fastest growing cause of house fires are cheap knockoff Amazon purchased chinese made Lithium batteries.

Agree.
I researched it too, but was hoping it was fake.

that mofo is still alive at the end. Minute those doors closed he was like a rotisserie chicken except well done and lungs filled with toxic smoke

Maybe it went up tot he floor he selected, opened up and discharged the smoke and then returned to the bottom floor.

Lesson learned. Not riding in an elevator if someone steps in with one of those bikes

I used to be in the e-bike business. Every time I see a post about "Should I buy this no-name e-bike? It's soooo much cheaper than those namebrand ones AND its more powerful!" I try to tell people to stick to the brands that are actually held to regulatory standards and that test the living daylights out of theirs. Few listen.
For those of you who don't want to be Elevator Vader, stick to complete motor/battery/charger systems from, in no order:
Bosch (and the companies that relabel their systems)
Brose (ditto relabels)
Shimano
Yamaha
Pedego
EDIT: I forgot Panasonic, possibly the oldest e-bike brand around. They are GTG too. And I am getting old......
And maybe Bafang, though their warranty support can be iffy.
The first thing you will hear from a no-name brand is "We use Samsung/Panasonic/LG cells, the same as those expensive guys" The cell brand matters a LOT less than the battery management system when it comes to thermal events while charging. The BMS is where all the testing and engineering time goes. The companies above each have more time on their BMS's in the field than the next 5-6 no-names combined.

Congrats to both of you on not being dead.
