The London Fire Brigade is endorsing a petition initiated by the family of 21-year-old Sofia Duarte, who lost her life in an e-bike fire caused by a lithium battery failure on New Year’s Day 2023

A house fire in Hackney, attributed to an e-bike battery failure, has prompted the London Fire Brigade to issue a safety warning

A man sustained severe injuries while attempting to tackle an e-bike fire in London, marking the latest incident in a series of e-bike and e-scooter fires this month

London firefighters have battled a record-breaking number of e-bike and e-scooter fires in 2023, surpassing the total for all of 2022

The project will see the installation of 150 dock, lock and charge points for e-scooters

E-bikes are likely to be placed at rail stations, parks and bus stops while e-scooters will be trialled and monitored initially in Cambridge to assess how well they are operating

Riders who participate in new council pilots must be aged at least 16, will need to have a driving licence and will be urged to wear a helmet
