Robbie ... the same stories of e-bike related fires appear in Ireland as much as the UK, with the same warnings issued from Dublin as from London to avoid cheap imports in their respective states ... UK rules remain the same (bar references to the EU) as those in Europe ... I doubt the dodgy import brigade operate much differently whichever European country they sell in.
Buying known quality from a respected seller is very good advice for such a potentially dangerous thing ... I'm amazed there isn't more regulation around charging (especially in shared blocks and inside living accomodation ) ... people will learn I guess ... most wouldn't bring gallons of petrol up in the lift to refuel their motorcycle in their tenth floor flat ... eventually it will dawn on the e-bike brigade that charging in your bedroom is a bad idea
