As e-bikes and e-scooters become more popular, it’s important to charge them safely to avoid fire risks.

The London Fire Brigade has identified these vehicles as a growing fire hazard, particularly in Tower Hamlets.

Here are some helpful tips to minimise the risk of a fire and keep your community safe.

Use the correct charger: Always use the charger supplied by the manufacturer.

Avoid overnight charging: Unplug your device once fully charged to reduce risks.

Check for damage: Inspect cables and batteries regularly for wear and tear.

Ventilate the area: Ensure there is good ventilation where you charge your e-bike or e-scooter.
