Dublin Fire Brigade have posted a photo on their Twitter account showing a badly damaged bike which they have said was caused by a bike charger going on fire.
Thankfully though, the fire set off a smoke alarm which warned those in the household. Dublin Fire Brigade haven’t provided any more details on where the incident took place.
Their post reads: “A bike charger fire overnight, smoke alarm alerted the household. Always check chargers. Smoke alarms protect you.”
However, some respondents to the post have said that the bike appears to be a regular bike which has been modified to be an electric bike rather than an off-the-shelf electric bike.
All electric bikes need to end up in flames!!
Nah, e-bikes are great! Beware of low quality crap, though, and always monitor charging equipment. E-bikes are fun and better than a moped in a lot of ways. People deserve cheap and light transportation. if you don’t have to go far, you can save a lot vs. using a car.
