The fire, which is believed to have originated from a converted e-bike, spread rapidly and is another example of the dangers these devices can pose, particularly in the home.
So far in 2024, we have recorded more than 130 fires involving an e-bike or e-scooter. E-bikes and e-scooters can be a great and sustainable way to travel...but they must be used safely otherwise the risk of a fire increases.
Converting pedal bikes into e-bikes using DIY kits bought online can be very dangerous. They can pose a higher risk of fire. Get a professional or competent person to carry out the conversion.
When charging your e-bike or e-scooter...make sure you are using the correct charger. Mismatching the charger increases the risk of fire. It's also important not to overcharge and to unplug the charger once it's completed charging.
