The roughly 1,000 electric rental bicycles in the city of Stockholm are being removed with immediate effect.

This because the batteries can start to burn, reports SvD.

– It has been established that it is due to a technical fault linked to the cold. It is not possible to rule out the risk that it could affect more bicycles, therefore the system is stopped and the company collects the bicycles to try to remedy this, says traffic councilor Lars Strömgren (MP) to SvD.

– For us, it is completely unacceptable that there should be bicycles out on Stockholm’s streets that constitute a fire hazard, he continues.

He hopes that the error will be rectified by the new year.
