Mail Company Recalls 2,000 E-bikes

The Belgium postal services Bpost recalled their e-bike fleet due to overheating batteries. According to the Belgium newspaper 'De Morgen' two recent incidents caused a lot of turmoil among the mailmen. Last week a Bpost employee noticed smoke coming from his e-bike. After taking off the battery of the e-bike it exploded. Next to this incident, last October a serious fire took place in the Bpost office in Aarschot – the result of a battery melt-down.
