What to do if there’s a fire

caused by an e-bike or e-scooter

If a battery begins to smoke or catches fire:

  • get out immediately
  • raise the alarm
  • call 999
  • do not attempt to tackle the fire yourself

Lithium-ion battery fires can spread rapidly and produce toxic smoke. 

 

E-bike fires

Spot the warning signs: Could your e-bike or e-scooter start a fire?

Lithium-ion batteries often show signs of failure before they catch fire. Recognising these signs early can help prevent an incident.

Registering your e-bike or e-scooter for safety alerts and product recalls

Registering your e-bike or e-scooter with the manufacturer allows them to contact you quickly if an important safety alert or product recall is issued.

Buying Safe e-bikes, batteries and chargers

Buying safe, compliant products from reputable sellers can significantly reduce the risks.
