However, the place, where the incident took place, is unclear. Such events are increasing as people are preferring e-scooters and bikes over conventional vehicles. Even firefighters have earlier pointed out that, in many cases, faulty after-market batteries may be a problem. Replacements, and duplicate batteries that did not originally come with the scooters, are likely to lead to fires.
