    Clearly the E bikes don't come with a lithium BMS.


    Depends how much you pay.
    I just converted my pushbike to an E-bike using a kit.
    I paid more for Samsung cells in the battery and a battery mount and charger that incorporates a battery management system.
    Some people buy cheap chargers when theirs fail which can lead to thermal runaway.
    Also some say to extend a lithium batteries life you should charge it to around 85% and discharge it to around 20%.
    With the occasional full charge to balance the cells.
    When you charge them they tend to have two phases a quicker early charge but the last little bit takes a lot longer.

    Also don't tamper with batteries
    Which I have been known to ignore.
    I've replaced the cells in power tool batteries before.
    Buying Samsung cells and spot welding nickel strips to their ends using a spot welding kit and a car battery as a power source.
