Given the numbers cited there it looks like Chinese e-bikes have a fire rate of 0.002391% per year. From a quick search it seems like there were about 130 e-bike fires in NYC in 2022 out of a population of about 65000 e-bikes, so NYC based e-bikes have a failure rate of 0.2% per year which seems significantly worse than the cheap ones used throughout China.
