The TTC is proposing a seasonal ban on electric bicycles and electric scooters after an e-bike caught fire on Line 1 last year.
“Due to the current lack of regulation and safety concerns surrounding e-bikes, e-scooters, and the lithium-ion batteries that power them, it is recommended that the TTC prohibit these devices across the transit system during the winter season from Nov. 15 to April 15 of each year,” according to a report going to the TTC board next Tuesday.
