It’s unclear when or where the video was shot. As individuals prefer e-scooters and bikes to traditional vehicles, such incidents are becoming more common. However, firefighters from around the world have already stated that bad after-market batteries may be a concern in many circumstances. Replacement batteries, rather than the batteries that came with the scooters, are more prone to cause fires.
