    Hi have notice some scarched marks on my battery protective case thing
    When I first read this, I thought you meant "scorched" - but do you mean "scratched"?

    A rather huge difference, and "scarched" could easily be a mis-spelling of either.

    It's hard to be sure from the photo, but it LOOKS like it's just cosmetic wear of the thin paint.

    I presume this e-moped is an actual registered, type-approved road-legal one, not just some piece of Temu/AliExpress illegal junk?

    I hope you do mean scratched, shouldn't be a problem if the battery is intact and not overheating.

    @Mildly_Miffed not all Chinese ebikes are junk, mine is excellent.

    No, the type-approved, road-legal ones are not what I was referring to as junk.

    I was referring to the illegal junk as junk, which it is - and often lethally so - and didn't mention the place of manufacture at all.

    Just look like ware marks from putting the battery in and out of the bike. A dented casing would be a cause for concern.
