In the video below, StacheD reports on how little time people have to get out of harm’s way when an electric bike catches fire and the dangers these vehicles pose to people in enclosed spaces, such as a subway car (or underground carriage).

Last year, Pat, host of StacheD’s podcast, spent a day “riding the New York Subway” with John Orlando, a retired Fire Department of the City of New York (“FDNY”) fire marshal who ran the lithium-ion battery task force.   Orlando expressed concerns about the dangers e-bikes pose to subway passengers (Watch HERE).

For a long time, we could only speculate about the risk that e-bikes pose, Pat said,  but now data has emerged from the Fire Safety Research Institute (a division of UL Research Institutes).

Located in Columbia, Maryland, USA, the institute focuses on evidence-based solutions to improve fire safety worldwide.  It set up a full-scale intercity commuter railcar and forced four separate battery failures inside it.  They then measured exactly how fast the smoke spreads, how fast visibility disappears and how much time passengers actually have to get out.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.
