00:00Do you have an e-bike?
00:07I don't have an e-bike.
00:09I just have a loud one.
00:11But eventually, you can have one.
00:13But there are a lot of them already.
00:15Even the big brands are now going to e-bikes.
00:18Let's see.
00:20Because e-bikes and electric bikes are becoming popular,
00:23we need to be extra careful when using them.
00:26Yes, so that you won't be like an e-bike in Laguna.
00:31It suddenly exploded because it was overcharged.
00:34It was overcharged?
00:36Yes.
00:37That's our breaking news for tonight.
00:43The e-bike was burned!
00:45This subdivision of Binan Laguna was lit up on a Friday early in the morning.
00:50It was on fire until an e-bike was hit.
00:54According to investigators, the e-bike's overcharged battery was the cause of the fire.
00:59It came from the battery and then it spread out to the entire e-bike.
01:05And even though no one was hurt, an SUV and a motorcycle were involved in the fire.
01:10The spread of the fire was fast.
01:14GMA Regional TV is working hard to get the owner of the e-bike and other vehicles.
01:20But according to the BFP, they already have someone to talk to.
01:23According to the National Bicycle Organization,
01:26there can be many reasons for the battery to go out
01:29even though there is a battery management system that prevents overcharging.
01:34Usually, it comes from exposure to heat.
01:39If you use the e-bike out and then get exposed to the noontime sun,
01:45and then it gets too hot, that can cause some problems with the battery.
01:50There's also manufacturing defects.
01:53One cause could be maybe they used a different charger.
01:57Each battery or each e-bike has a different requirement.
02:04And because of the battery, the e-bike cannot be used if exposed to too much heat,
02:10such as in the afternoon.
02:12Also, don't leave it in the rain.
02:14Don't leave it under the sun or hot places.
02:17And of course, avoid getting it wet.
02:20Because moisture getting in the electronics can also cause problems.
02:27So before you get into an e-bike,
02:30read your e-bike's manual and do some research.
02:34You can follow the 15-15 rule.
02:37Rest for 15 minutes after using it,
02:40and rest for 15 minutes after charging before running.
02:44Don't leave it overnight.
02:46For example, if you charge it and then go to sleep,
02:48that can cause a fire.
02:52Also, the substandard batteries.
02:56We need proper materials to build the right battery.
03:03We need a BMS.
03:05The BMS is the chip, the brain of the battery.
03:09We also need battery insulators
03:11so that the battery is safe and won't get stuck.
03:14Also, check the e-bike at the service center
03:17if the battery is broken,
03:19and do a maintenance check every 2 or 3 months.
03:22To check the battery,
03:24to see if it's in good condition,
03:26if there's leakage,
03:27if the battery is bloated.
03:29So it's better to do maintenance.
03:31Even the wires that are being cut,
03:35that's usually the cause of short circuit.
