Democrats and environmentalists have aggressively pushed electric bicycles as part of their climate agenda, but officials nationwide have pumped the brakes, citing fire risk.
"The majority of lithium-ion battery fires that fire departments across the country are dealing with involve these micromobility devices," Matthew Paiss, a technical advisor in the Battery Materials & Systems group of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, told the NFPA Journal last year. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"With something like an electric vehicle fire, you may be able to let it burn on the side of the road," he added. "With these, though, they may be in homes and high-rises, so fire departments have to engage. It’s a problem we need to address."
