Staff from Chelsea and Westminster hospitals are urging Londoners to make sure they charge their electric bikes and scooters properly.

The Trust is home to the largest burns unit in the South of England.

Doctors say burns from e-bikes and e-scooters are flame injuries and result in far deeper wounds that don’t tend to heal without surgery.

There have been at least 146 of these types of fires this year, of which at least 121 have involved an e-bike.

Three people have died and 58 people have been injured.

London Fire Brigade’s #ChargeSafe advice to never block escape routes with e-bikes and e-scooters, and always ensure you have the correct battery and charger to go with your vehicle, are key messages hospital staff want Londoners to follow to reduce injuries.
