Unfortunately the battery issue might be a little beyond my area of expertise. I attended an event a little while back with a Council Member that talked a bit about how the City Council was very aware of it, and also most members weren't in favor of any legislation to prohibit personal electric vehicles, or for allowing city agencies to do that. (Especially since so many industry/delivery and working class people and jobs depend on it now.) But they also didn't really have any answers.

So the government probably isn't our problem, and it's also probably not individual buildings or landlords we have to worry about but actually insurance companies that may force them to act. Frankly I have no idea how this is going to play out, but I have a feeling there will be pretty stringent certifications coming for batteries, which would be good. We just need to get a few years down the road and let the industry mature and fix the issue like they did for other Lithium ion products that used to have this problem and keep any bans to a minimum, and also remind people that fires with personal electric vehicles even now are very rare, and when they do happen its not really happening to high end ebikes or scooters, it's happening to the really cheap mopeds and ebikes whose manufacturers cut corners.
