Along with the met you need to confiscate the many illegally converted dangerous contraptions that are parked up in baker st w1 and surrounding roads NOT wait for them to cause serious fires and injuries

If you ever see smoke from a battery - move away immediately. The smoke can be flammable.

Why is it on the first floor? Why isn’t it charging downstairs or in the garage?

Video showing firefighters from London Fire Brigade rescuing people from flats in Whitechapel using ladders, the incident took place on the 7th of February 2024 and was caused by an e-bike which was in active thermal runaway with highly toxic, flammable and explosive vapours blocking escape routes. The incident comes just days just after LFB announced they’d seen a 78% increase in fires caused by e-bikes and e-scooters in 2023 compared to 2022. Incidents involving e-bikes and e-scooters are currently the fastest growing fire risk in London.

We're currently trialling new equipment in several parts of the country that we hope will assist us in ensuring the safety of e-scooters and e-bikes. We need all e-scooters and e-bikes that are used on public roads to be compliant with road traffic laws. #SaferRoads

Parents, electric dirt bikes are NOT e-bikes. Walton County Sheriff's Office, Florida is seeing an increase in electric dirt bikes, also called “e-motos”, being ridden in neighborhoods and on public roads. Monday, six of these electric dirt bikes were impounded and citations were issued to juveniles 11-14 years old. Many Do NOT have pedals, have high-powered motors, and are designed only for off-road use. Under Florida law, these vehicles are NOT street legal. It’s illegal to ride electric dirt bikes or "e-motos" on public roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks in Walton County. Driving an unregistered, electric dirt bike on a public road can lead to citations, fines, impoundment, and a mandatory court date. Parents are responsible for making sure e-motos are used legally and safely. Even if it was a gift for Christmas and thought to be an e-bike, many of these are electric dirt bikes and the rules of the road are different. Allowing a child to ride an e-moto on streets or sidewalks puts them and everyone around them at serious risk. E-Bike vs. Electric Dirt Bike or E-Moto ✅ E-Bike: • Has pedals with electric assist • Designed for roads, bike paths, and shared spaces • Typically, lower speeds and requires less protective gear • Less than 750 watts • Can travel 28 mph or less depending on class of bike • Classified as a bicycle 🚫 Electric Dirt Bike / E-Moto: • All throttle • Higher power and higher speeds • Built for off-road terrain only • Requires full protective gear • 750 watts or more • Can travel up to 70 mph • Classified as a motor vehicle ➡️ NOT legal on streets or sidewalks Our goal is education and safety. Not enforcement after something goes horribly wrong and ends in a tragedy. When these e-motos are operated illegally on public roads and sidewalks, enforcement action will be taken. We're here if you need us.

$American healthcare worker has a very serious warning for parents “Don't buy your kid an e-bike. If I could give parents any piece of advice right now, it would be don't get an e-bike for your child. The consequences to e-bike accidents are life-changing and deadly, and honestly, kids should not be riding them — So please just don't buy them” She’s right they are very dangerous here’s some data: E-bikes can reach 20 mph, and Class 3 e-bikes can reach 28 mph. Same models can go even faster An estimated 45,000–60,000 e-bike injuries occur annually in the US across all ages Roughly 8,000–12,000 children and teens have to visit the ER every year from them Children involved in e-bike crashes are more likely to suffer traumatic brain injuries, fractures and internal injuries than those injured on traditional bicycles because of the higher speeds Pediatric trauma experts report dozens of children and teens have died in e-bike crashes in recent years$

We've been cracking down on Surrons and e-bikes modified to exceed the 15.5mph speed limit for e-bikes. If you own an electric bike, know the law - if you're caught with a de-restricted bike, you could face fines, points on your licence, and even seizure of your bike.

Florida assistant principal arrested for DUI for riding an e-bike while intoxicated. The incident came after Kenneth Bevan Jr. was asked to leave a local bar. Deputies reportedly warned him not to ride the e-bike. After leaving the bar, deputies watched him as he walked his bike to a 7-Eleven. At the 7-Eleven, he purchased a 12-pack of Budweiser, placed it in the e-bike basket, and rode off. He was then stopped and arrested. Pretty wild that children are allowed to ride 20+ mph e-bikes in the street, but a grown adult can't ride one after having some beers.

“How to Mix Up Charged Fireballs” 0:00- When going for a fully charged fireball, if the opponent starts forward jumping after seeing the charge, mix in Level 2 charged fireballs to make your timing harder to read. 0:08- If opponents try to fireball bypass with moves like Akuma or Ryu’s Tatsumaki against fully charged or Level 2 fireballs, mix in lightly charged fireballs instead. 0:25- If a lightly charged LP fireball hits a Tatsumaki that was used after mistaking it for a charged fireball, you can follow up with Drive Rush or SA1. 0:35- A situation where the opponent reacts to Viper charged fireball with a forward jump heavy Blanka Ball. If they start looking for that option, Akuma can counter by mixing in lightly charged fireballs. 0:47- From very far ranges, it’s possible to avoid a fully charged fireball on reaction with a neutral jump. (At closer ranges, avoiding a fully charged HP fireball this way is much harder.) If the opponent is looking for that, fake a fully charged fireball, release just before max charge, and use a Level 2 LP fireball to catch their landing.

Every New Yorker deserves to move around our city freely and safely, regardless of how they get around. But too many people have been seriously injured or killed in crashes involving illegal e-bikes, e-motos, and e-scooters. That’s why the New York City Council is launching a comprehensive review of where existing laws can be stronger enforced, and what additional solutions are needed to keep New Yorkers safe.
