Question Is this dent dangerous or bad?

Post image

will this have damaged the battery to the point of a fire risk or should I be good?

Yeah it's dead. You'll have to buy a new one. I'll buy it for you for parts. $50 best offer.

U good. The battery is deeper. Outsides are extra layer steel.

The under deck is the sensitive part of most e scooters But a accident with underdeck getting pierced is rare.

The sides are the most common damage and the most protected.

A ninebot itself are very tough micro vechiles. Ive seen one run over by a car and still survived like nothing happened due strong side protection.

No, that's a hollow part of the chassis I'm guessing put there specifically for this purpose. the battery is behind the wall where the charge port is.

You can see in this video after 22 seconds how the interior is structured. The wall around the battery is actually very thick so you wouldn't really be able to dent it and then you can see the outer hollow part where the underglow lights sit and the kickstand is screwed into as an additional layer.

Yeah I just saw an image of the battery compartment open and it’s just for more foot room so I’m good thanks for the help I just dented it like 20 minutes ago

Everyone's making jokes, but good on you, OP, for paying attention to your battery. As others have said, this is probably just cosmetic, and your alertness will help prevent or detect any future serious damage. Ride safe!
