Always take care about when and where you charge your lithium-ion device. 🚨

🚨This footage shows just how dangerous it can be when a faulty e-bike lithium battery catches fire and explodes.🔥

Thankfully no one was hurt in this particular incident, which took place in #Roehampton, south west London, last weekend.

Anyone used to driving in Scotland knows it can be far between petrol stations. If you’re visiting from overseas, don’t get caught out – make sure you plan ahead before you set off.
