According to news from this website on August 1, the Zhejiang Traffic Police issued a document yesterday that an electric bicycle caught fire in Kecheng District, Quzhou, Zhejiang recently. The vehicle was completely destroyed, with only the frame remaining. Pedestrians and firefighters put out the fire, and there were no casualties at the scene.

The traffic police questioned the driver Ye and learned that the cause of the fire may be a circuit failure caused by battery modification.

The car was equipped with a 12Ah battery which was replaced with a 20.5Ah battery. Due to the increase in battery power, the originally small wires were unable to withstand the excessive current, resulting in circuit instability and short circuit, which ultimately caused the vehicle to spontaneously ignite.

The traffic police launched an investigation and found the seller of the electric bicycle involved. In accordance with relevant regulations, the seller was fined 5,000 yuan for modifying, assembling and adding to the registered electric bicycle.
