London Fire Brigade warns that converting pedal bikes into e-bikes with DIY kits can be very dangerous, posing a higher risk of fire. Safety measures include using professionals, new batteries, correct chargers, not over-charging, and not charging unattended or while sleeping.
The brigade emphasizes that e-bikes and e-scooters are London's fastest-growing fire risk. They point out that the recent fire in a high-rise building was believed to be caused by the failure of a battery pack from a converted e-bike being charged.
