E-motors catching fire has been too frequent due to inadequate care by owners, says the ICA.

The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) calls the attention of all e-scooter and e-bike owners to revisit their insurance plans amidst the upcoming Christmas season, advising them to recharge and store their motor safely to avoid risks.

“We are seeing now too regularly fires caused by owner who are careless using, charging, and storing their devices, resulting in serious injuries and damaging assets. Owners and landlords must ensure they have adequate insurance coverage to safeguard against unforeseen incidents,” Insurance Council of Australia CEO Andrew Hall.
