Footage released by the London Fire Brigade shows the moment yet another e-bike spontaneously catches fire and explodes. The Telegraph reports that the incident, which took place at a block of flats in Roehampton last week, “occurred after the bike’s lithium battery went into thermal runaway and erupted into flames”.
The video shows the bike producing a highly flammable and toxic vapour cloud, before igniting in a fireball a second later.
Avi Gooransingh, 29, the owner of the bike, said he was “shaken up” by the incident and will not have another e-bike in his home again.
Spontaneous combustion is a known problem with electric vehicle batteries, which, while rare, is somewhat catastrophic when it happens.

Candice Marie and Mike Leigh have a lot to answer for.
Nuts in May !
Their hatred driven narrative will not succeed in the long term.
They act like spoilt children and should not be indulged.
I have the channel on now for most of the time I wish to receive news/ commentary. I guess talk radio is having similar issues although I do hear adverts on the radio but not TV. Not sure why this should be.
Clearly the MSM still has a stranglehold on opinion (conversations with acquaintances today bear this out) and would probably agree with these puritans that GBNews is an ‘unpleasant, toxic channel’ without actually watching it.
Good to hear viewing figures are growing.
Same here. I usually watch J H-B on TalkTV, but the rest of the time I switch to GB News. They have a great stable of presenters apart from the outstanding Nigel Farage and Mark Steyn.
The headline picture to this article is racist. There is an ethnic on the left, an ethnic on the right and whitey in the middle standing taller than the other two. A blatant example of white privilege.
Absolutely horrendous.
Coddled financed & stroked by tptb !
What a shame that you didn’t publish the full email address of the idiot who sent you the threatening communication. I and many others on here would like to let the volunteer know our views.
I wonder who funds their hate.
Stop Funding Hate = Orwellian New-speak.
‘Hate’ in the context it’s now used reminds me of the word’s usage by children in a school playground, which is the intellectual level of most of the brats working for these pressure/terror groups.
