One of two companies involved in e-bike battery production and sales has denied liability for a fatal Jan. 31, 2022 fire that claimed the life of a Vancouver man.

Sharples said she escaped by shattering a bedroom window and climbing across a ledge four storeys above the ground to a neighbour’s balcony.
