Electrical Safety First found two models of triangle-shaped e-bike batteries that are branded UPP (unit pack power) The UPP batteries pose a serious risk of fire and can undergo a devastating process called 'thermal runaway' where the battery cells inside reach up to 1112F ( 600C ) and create a ferocious fire that is almost impossible to extinguish.
It's thought the offending models have insufficient battery management system to prevent the battery entering thermal runaway.
Electric bikes have a motor and battery mounted on the frame, with a display attached to the handlebars.
E-bikes can help you reach speeds of 15.5mph , although if you pedal faster, you can go faster.
They emit no greenhouse gases or carbon monoxide, so your carbon footprint is hugely reduced.
