E-scooters to be banned from TfL network over battery fire risk
Reading now: 784
E-scooters will be banned from the public transport network in London from Monday for safety reasons after a spate of battery fires.
The ban will apply to privately owned e-scooters and e-unicycles even when folded or carried, after a number of incidents when the electric vehicles have combusted.
Transport for London and fire services said such incidents, when defective lithium-ion batteries ruptured and caught fire, could lead to significant harm to life and premises, not least with toxic smoke being emitted, potentially in confined spaces.
TfL said customers with privately owned e-scooters would not be permitted to enter any premises on its network, or travel on any of its services, including the tube, buses or trams.
