Doug/Scott,
My wife’s e-bike has a Bosch motor and battery and seems to be well made and certified so I am comfortable storing and charging it in my garage. Included a picture of the label with agency marks, sorry it is a little blurry. So I think there are definitely safety schemes available, but as with everything, quality may vary from vendor to vendor. I would trust Bosch over a vendor I never heard of and the Bosch motor and battery certainly played a large role in picking which e-bike to purchase.

Since the battery capacity is much bigger than the li-ion battery using in normal portable devices, the battery and the charger must comply with rigid safety requirements. Do not recommend buying unknown brand products in this type of goods.

It seems that these days more and more people are using these devices and fire safety is a growing concern. It seems my news feed has a new instance every few days. Some of these cases are very tragic outcomes, in that the owner brings these devices just inside the door to their apartment for overnight charging. Of course, if there is a lithium fire, it is rather violent and blocks the exit for the occupants. I am not very familiar with which safety standards are available in North America and Europe, and do they have requirements to address such concerns in the user documentation? I do know that some building owners are taking matters into their own hands and requiring these devices be charged outdoors; which may have varying success in mitigating building fires. In any case, many e-scooter owners are probably not very keen on leaving their property where it can be easily stolen.
