Almost 100 people have been injured, and more than 50 fires started by electric bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards and hoverboards in less than three months, according to figures from an Australian research group.
EV FireSafe, which monitors electric vehicle risks, released the data on Tuesday after an e-bike explosion in New South Wales (NSW) forced one man to jump from a second-storey window to escape a blaze that started in his garage.
