As we get deeper into the 2020s, electric mobility is clearly on the rise. From e-scooters to e-bikes, electric scooters, electric motorcycles, and other two-wheelers that blur the line between two or more of these categories, plenty of people around the world are hopping on board. There are plenty of excellent reasons why—and they’re only getting more popular over time.
When new things start to get popular, though, that’s usually when you learn about the dangers that can sometimes come with those things. In August and September, 2022 alone, we’ve seen multiple reports about e-bike and e-scooter (both stand-on and seated) fires in the U.S., India, and the U.K. In some cases, only property was destroyed—but in others, people have been injured and/or died.
