Never charge your e-bike here
By the Skint Kit crew · How we pickWhere you charge your e-bike matters as much as what you charge. Never charge it in the hallway, on the stairs or by your front door.
If a battery catches fire, that's your way out, and lithium fires spread fast. Charge on a hard floor, away from sofas, beds and curtains.
Do it while you're awake and at home, never overnight or while you're out, and unplug it when it's full. Fit a ten-year smoke alarm right where you charge and test it every month.
It costs less than a takeaway. Links below are affiliate links, and the full UK safety checklist is on the Skint Kit site.
