Battery danger: Read this if you have an e-bike or e-scooter

Yet another battery fire, in Whitechapel this time:

Borough Commander for Tower Hamlets, Richard Tapp, said it was “sadly yet another example” of the dangers of faulty batteries in e-bikes.

He also raised the dangers of storing the bikes in hallways, as it can block off escape routes if a fire occurs.

The Brigade is running a campaign to highlight the risks and are lobbying for changes to stop poor quality batteries, chargers and conversion kits being sold online.
