Thanks for the video link. It totally explains the white smoke that I saw, why the fire extinguisher didn't put out the fire, and why the fire grew so quickly once it ignited.
I will be dropping out of the forum for now, as my focus has been diverted to other things for now.
Thank you all for sharing your passion for e-bikes. I sure enjoyed your input.
Please learn from my mistakes.
