Electric rickshaw “explodes” outside Buckingham Palace
A street outside Buckingham Palace in central London was cordoned off by police this afternoon after an electric rickshaw reportedly exploded outside the royal residence.
Another X user posted a brief video to the social network with the caption, “rickshaw’s on fire, taxi drivers justified.”While it is not known what caused the explosion and subsequent fire, the incident comes just weeks after LFB warned that fires caused by e-bike and e-scooter batteries were the fastest-growing cause of fires in the city., LFB said that there had been a 78 per cent year-on-year increase in such fires during 2023, 155 involving e-bikes and 28 related to e-scooters.
LFB welcomed the move, with its assistant commissioner for fire safety, Charlie Pugsley, saying: “The recent enforcement action taken by the Office for Product Safety and Standards is a welcome step towards reducing the risk of customers being exposed to dangerous products.
