China is encouraging governments to buy flammable electric motorcycles and bicycles. But the problem is that there is a fire accident.

Black smoke swallows buildings quickly.

Five students from Guilin, Guangxi province, China, were killed and 36 injured after a fire started in an electric motorcycle.

At the end of last month, the electric motorcycle that was being charged in Jilin Province was lit, and a six-story apartment was burnt down.

[Firefighters: Electric motorcycles and bicycles are composed of combustible materials such as plastic, rubber, sponge, and battery. Because of this, the fire burns rapidly.]

Currently, electric motorcycles and bicycles supplied to China are 250 million units.

However, fire accidents involving electricity are also happening, resulting in dozens of deaths each year.

Short-circuiting of unproven bad batteries, old electrical wiring, and illegal remodeling to increase speed are the main causes.

Also, when charging, you must use equipment with such safety devices, but in many cases, it may lead to fire when you draw and charge the power cord.

[Firefighter: The battery must be charged at the designated location. (To prevent overcharging), and do not charge at night.]

The Chinese government has recently introduced a manufacturing standard that prohibits illegal remodeling and strengthens the fire prevention system.
