Electrical experts are focusing on the risks of micromobility devices like e-scooters and the risks of lithium ion batteries in a new electrical safety campaign.
The CPSC is setting new standards for manufacturers of micromobility devices to guarantee the safety of their lithium-ion batteries following hundreds of reports of fires and overheating.
A CPSC report warns of rising injuries and deaths involving e-scooters, hoverboards, e-bikes and other micromobility vehicles in recent years.
The findings of a new study calls for cities to more rapidly put in place new safety regulations and repair aging infrastructure in order to reduce e-scooter injuries and deaths.
