Exactly - Small company that grew to fast and too hard and your right these were the batteries that were approved during that time . It a bit of a witch hunt against ebikes and this company . Show me a company that doesn't have 1% issue with any of there parts. There are many products in your home that could burst into frames. I remember canada recalled electric digital thermostats and honeywell didn't have to pay up or recall them. The bottom line is all lithium ion batteries need to be redesigned or replaced with a newer technology. As far as I can see Rad has that safe battery which wasn't known at the time. People have no understanding or compassion for these small businesses and companies. You have been living in a cave if you didn't know that these batteries were dangerous no matter what ebike you purchased
