Lithium-Ion Battery Fire & Burn Hazards
E-bikes are powered by lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are lightweight, powerful, and recharge quickly, making them ideal for bicycles. The problem is that they can also overheat and catch on fire, or even explode.
Burn injuries from defective lithium-ion batteries can be extremely serious or deadly, especially if they occur when a person is in close contact with the battery, or the fire spreads in a home.
