Electric bike battery explodes inside elevator.

This is OMG on steroids. It is intense and doesn't have a happy ending. Please do not watch if you are squeamish. Poor guy.

What happened is that the guy overheated his battery and decided to take it outside to cool off. Unfortunately, for him, the electrical activity of the elevator overheated the battery even more and that was too much.

[Indy Pendance]

WOW! Poor guy. Imagine bumper to bumper traffic.

[Sequoyah101]

Those things are just so cool. He died for Gia.
He should have been very proud and happy for saving the erf.

[Does so]

Not because the electric bicycle’s battery would be stolen?

[Mama Shawna]

Seriously intense. I put a fair warning notice on my fb page. Probably get me jailed. Oh well. Guy didn’t have a chance.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Is this for real??

[Mama Shawna]

There will come a time when the insurance companies will make it extremely costly to insure these things. And when a parking garage collapses from the weight of them, all bets are off.

[PGalt]

WOW! Horrible

[Jonty30]

You probably can’t leave your bike outside in this part of the world for that reason.

[Jonty30]

Yes. Asian bikes are built cheap and their batteries are not built to the same standard that is built for the North American market.

That battery had internal combustion.

Is that poor dude OK?

[Sirius Lee]

I had a Fitbit battery go all china-syndrome on me once. Got it off my wrist before 2nd degree burns and tossed it out on the patio where it went into full thermometamorphosis.

No

I used to bicycle down the coast of Kalifornia, back when it was California and Reagan Country. Now, I just bike for fun. I was considering an EV bike until I read about such events. A year or two ago, there was a bicycle shop that has a 24/7 security camera in the store. One night, a few of these same EV bike batteries exploded/burned most of the shop’s entire inventory. I have declined to purchase an EV bike. I like my house, my skin, and especially my internal combustion, hydrocarbon-powered automobiles.

Pray for this victim and his family.

What an awful way to go.

That poor, poor man.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The most horrible thing I've seen on FR.

I wish I hadn't watched it.

Where did this occur?

[Clay Moore]

“Is that poor dude OK?”

I think he will assume room temperature when he finishes burning. Likely severe respiratory burns.

[V_TWIN]

I’m pretty sure he died
