A Smarter Way Forward for Safe Micromobility
State governments are rushing to ban e-bikes and e-scooters from public transport in response to lithium-ion battery safety concerns. But these blanket bans are a blunt tool—and the consequences are significant: reduced access, higher emissions, economic loss, and disproportionate harm to people who rely most on affordable transport.
The solution isn't prohibition. It's verification.
We propose a verified, Standards-led alternative to emobility transport bans. Our proposal to governments is below.

Important Safety Message
If your e-bike, e-scooter, or golf cart battery got wet in a flood, STOP! Even
if it looks fine, water can hide dangerous problems. Here’s what you need to
know to stay safe.
1. Wet batteries = Danger! Flooded batteries might look okay but could cause
fires or explosions.
2. Don’t touch or charge them! Even if they dry out, they’re still risky.
3. Stay Safe! Take it to an e-bike or e-scooter expert to check it out.
A damaged battery cannot be safely repaired. It must be replaced
with a quality battery designed for your specific device.
