New research from WMG looks into e-bike and e-scooter battery safety
Following a rise in e-bike and e-scooter battery fires in the UK, WMG researchers have been researching the future of battery safety.
An independent report from The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) commissioned WMG at The University of Warwick to produce research on the risks associated with unsafe e-bike and e-scooter batteries and chargers.
The report outlines how battery failures occur, processes and materials that achieve safer design and use of batteries, and potential shortcomings in product standards.
