Three deaths have been directly linked to e-bike battery fires since 2023, and officials warn cheap, unsafe products are the culprit. A new “Charge Safe” campaign is spreading awareness, while lawmakers push for stricter online sales rules — including holding platforms accountable. Uber Eats supports the shift to electric delivery but insists safety must come first. This partnership could be the key to preventing more tragedies on London’s streets.
