Batteries for electric bicycles may be prohibited in workplaces and public premises. Archive image. Photo: Fredrik Sandberg/TT
Several workplaces and public premises do not allow batteries for electric bicycles to be brought in.
On Thursday, a battery for an electric bicycle exploded in an apartment in Malmö. It caused a heavy fire and eight people had to go to hospital, including two police officers.
It was not the first time that a bicycle battery caused great damage. The number of fires connected to the charging of electrical gadgets has increased sharply in recent years, as more and more products become rechargeable.
Since June, patients and visitors to Region Skåne’s premises have been met by signs with the message that it is forbidden to bring removable batteries for electric bicycles or electric scooters inside.
Several other regions in the country have similar bans. And the country’s authorities have also introduced restrictions depending on how the business looks.
