Charity Electrical Safety First (ESF) has urged the Government to back its bill to introduce third party certification for e-bikes, e-scooters and their batteries, after footage was released of an e-bike fire at Sutton Railway Station.

Jack Samler, Voi general manager UK, Ireland and France, said ..read more

Fully Charged began life as a popular YouTube channel hosted - at first - by the effervescent Robert Llewellyn (AKA Kryten from the TV comedy Red Dwarf). It has covered everything from electric cars to renewables to micromobility - even the occasional e-bike, although they aren't a staple of the channel. Last month's inaugural Everything Electric London show was an offshoot of this and I was interested to see how it would promote e-bikes and other two-wheeled electric mobility - especially since it had proudly declared itself, "the world’s biggest electric vehicle and home energy festiva ..read more
