QThat a building explodes due to an explosion may be normal to a certain extent depending on how it happened… but to do it like consequence of an electric bicycle already borders on the implausible. It is what has happened in NY.
Said vehicle, which was parked on the street, jumped into the air due to a battery failure, exploded and ended up destroying a building nearby. “It literally exploded,” several witnesses said.. Moreover, according to the report that was made of the event, seven people were injured and the city firefighters pointed to the lithium battery as the cause of the incident.
“According to FDNY fire marshals, the cause of today’s 5-alarm fire at 2096 Grand Concourse in the Bronx was a lithium ion battery that powered a scooter,” explained.
More than 400 explosions have already been recorded in recent years
The fact that he destroyed a building as the main cause of the explosion of said bicycle may turn out to be a coincidence… but What breaks this casuistry is that, according to the body, there have been around 400 explosions from these batteries in the city in recent years.
Los firefighters called so that people do not resort to what is known as “illegal batteries”, which can cause this type of incident. “We want to emphasize the amount of damage that can be done by a single non-compliant e-bike, a single e-bike that might not be certified, might be using an illegal battery. This bike could be at your house. And if he can do this amount of damage to a store this size, think of the danger to you, to your family, to your building.”.
