"Are you concerned about the safety of e-bikes?"🚴⚡We asked the public… Most of us expect the products we buy online to be safe.

But with e-bikes and batteries, it’s not always that straightforward.

[Electrical Safety First @ElecSafetyFirst]

Preventing devastating e-bike battery fires requires action from government, manufacturers, online marketplaces and the wider sector.

Thanks to the insurance sector for supporting the campaign, including calls for independent third-party certification of e-bike batteries.

Today’s Metro front page carries comments from our CEO, referring to fires caused by substandard e-bike batteries as a runaway train that needs to be stopped as fires reach record highs. Online marketplaces have a great deal to answer for and we continue our calls for new laws.

In 2025 alone, there were over 400 e-bike fires across the UK - up 38% from the previous year. 🔥

⚠️ Many of these fires are linked to poorly made batteries sold via unregulated online marketplaces: https://t.co/wS3FxwM6Yb

🔋 Charging your e-bike or e-scooter?

Always use the charger that came with your device. If you need a replacement, get it from the original manufacturer - fake or substandard chargers can cause fires. 👉 More tips: https://t.co/cE2KmZbxOf
