Kind of. EBike batteries store more energy and have more cells than a laptop battery. So there is more points of failure, and when it fails it fails massively.

However if a quality battery and charger is in use, then the safety protections should kick in before there is a fire. But what is stopping me from putting in the Aliexpress UltraHouseFire batteries in my bike though.
