A fire caused by the explosion of an electric motorcycle occurred on Friday afternoon in the Lawton neighborhood of Havana, completely destroying the workshop and part of a house.
The incident occurred at approximately 6:35 p.m. in a private workshop located on 18th Street between Dolores and Concepción, Vista Alegre Popular Council.
Due to the incident, three electric motorcycles were burned, in addition to the material damages to the workshop and the home, said user Alejandro Chassagne in the Facebook group "Accidentes Automovilísticos en Cuba."
The fires involving electric motorcycles have caused significant losses of property and resources in the country, as was the case of the incident reported in Santa Clara, where the explosion of a battery from a charging scooter engulfed a garage in flames within minutes and left a charred Lada car.
Explosions can even occur anywhere and are not limited to the moment they are subjected to the load. This happened with a motorbike whose battery exploded while it was parked near the intersection of 23rd and 26th streets in the Havana neighborhood of El Vedado.
Also in Santiago de Cuba, the explosion of a motorcycle caused a fire inside a house in Santiago de Cuba. A similar situation was experienced by the residents of a home in Matanzas.
Therefore, some of the advice that has been given to avoid these incidents is to be very careful with battery repairs.
Additionally, it is recommended that this type of motorcycle be charged in places where the owner has visibility to keep an eye on it, and it is advised not to lie down while charging.
It is also advisable to keep it charging in places where there are no containers with fuel, preferably alone and away from access ways, or from places that can quickly spread a fire such as furniture, curtains, cardboard, among others.
