New Delhi, Aug 22: As the government probes multiple fires in electric two-wheelers, only 1 percent of household consumers plan to buy an e-scooter in the next six months amid safety and performance concerns, a new report showed on Monday.
Around 32 per cent of respondents are not convinced about the safety and performance of electric scooters in August while in March this year, the number stood at 17 per cent – as more than two dozen electric two-wheelers caught fire in March and April, according to data provided by community social media platform LocalCircles.
After more than two dozen electric two-wheelers caught fire in March and April, around 7,000 units were “voluntarily” recalled by electric scooter makers such as Ola, Pure EV, and Okinawa.
