Electrical Safety First

E-bikes are helping millions of people travel more affordably and efficiently 🚴⚡

But as their popularity grows, so does the importance of understanding battery safety.

In our latest documentary, London Fire Brigade firefighters recount attending a residential fire later confirmed to have started from an e-bike battery.

Most people assume the products they buy online are safe. But with e-bikes, their batteries and chargers, knowing what you’re buying, using compatible chargers and avoiding overcharging can all help reduce risks. Watch the full documentary now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ag9wkef0Zk

“I could see just as the smoke cleared, that there was another person still stuck at the top of the townhouse”

Fire and rescue services witness firsthand the devastating impact e-bike battery fires can have on homes and families.

We’re proud to have support from organisations working in fire safety, protection and prevention, including fire and rescue services across the country, as part of the Battery Breakdown campaign.

Their frontline experience responding to these fires, alongside the growing national incident data and evidence they help collect, reinforces the need for stronger product safety measures, including independent third-party certification of e-bikes batteries.
