The solvent for the electrolyte in all lithium ion chemistries is a combination of various carbonate esters which are themselves very flammable, unlike pretty much every other type of battery chemistry in which water is the solvent for the electrolyte.
The reason LFP (LiFePO4) is considered (relatively) safe is because it is practically immune to auto-ignition from thermal runaway, while LCO is inordinately prone to it; NMC and NCA are in between those two extremes, though closer to the LFP end of the scale. Note, however, that LFP still has a considerable advantage in both charge and discharge rate compared to all the other Li-ion cell types except the rather rare Titanate kind. That may or may not be relevant in an electric bike application - a 500W drive system with a 48V/10Ah battery will only be stressed at a little over 1C, and the typical NMC or NCA cell can handle at least a 2C discharge (the >10C discharge rating of a LFP cell is hardly an advantage, then, as I imagine an e-bike that can only run for 6 minutes wouldn't be a big seller).
