Bicycle Accidents In New York City: Quick Facts

e-bike batteries: Public Safety Warning

According to research from the New York Daily News, there have been 65 e-bike battery fires recorded in New York in 2021. These fires have injured 57 individuals and tragically, killed 3.

Spare batteries, with obsolete manufacturing standards, are reported to be the cause of the majority of the incidents.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission advises individuals to only use e-bike batteries with UL2272 or UL2849 certification. Additionally they advise:

– Never continue to use a damaged battery
– Never leave an e-bike battery unattended while charging
– Charge e-bike batteries outdoors, and away from other flammable materials

As e-bike use in New York City continues to grow, it is critical that individuals heed these important safety recommendations.
