E-Bike Safety Notice (UK)

E-bikes are a sustainable and efficient way to travel, but because they use lithium-ion batteries, they can pose serious fire risks in enclosed areas such as basements, bike stores, or corridors.

🚫 Why indoor storage is restricted

• Battery fires spread fast — lithium-ion cells can overheat and ignite without warning.
• Toxic smoke and gases can quickly fill enclosed spaces and block escape routes.
• Charging risks — many incidents start while charging or using damaged chargers.

✅ Safer storage tips

• Store and charge your e-bike in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
• Use only the manufacturer’s original charger and unplug once fully charged.
• If a battery feels hot, swells, hisses, or smokes — move away immediately and call 999.
