Electric scooters are both urban furniture and a personal transportation solution. Its popularity has resulted in a major alteration in urban transportation in recent years, with electric vehicles proliferating on city streets owing to their simplicity of use, convenience and speed of charging, capacity to avoid traffic congestion, and decreased environmental effect. The environment is the primary motivator.
Within this context, it is critical that users adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions for the usage and charging of their lithium batteries, avoiding exposing them to excessive temperatures and charging them with improper chargers or exceeding their recommended capacity. Although deflagrations in lithium batteries in electric scooters are relatively unlikely due to tight safety measures during manufacturing, failure to follow these instructions or inappropriate use might cause their cells to overheat, resulting in safety issues.

Ice, a company that specializes in the manufacture and marketing of electric bicycles and scooters for the European market, has created a unique product that promises to erase any indication of consumer distrust and uneasiness. This is the Ice Bag fireproof bag, which was developed and designed to prevent the spread of fire in the case of an explosion in the lithium battery of an electric scooter during storage, transportation, and charging.
The operation is as simple as placing the electric scooter inside the bag, either during the charging phases, preparing to move it, or simply leaving it stored. In the unlikely event of a fire, the purpose of this bag is to ensure people’s safety by containing fire and toxic gases inside, to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, both of which are harmful to people and the environment, and to preserve the safety of homes, workplaces, public transportation, and other places where this type of vehicle may be found.

The Ice Bag is comprised of materials that are both flame retardant and explosion resistant. They offer a two-way closing mechanism with a high-quality zipper and velcro. They also have a fire-resistant fiberglass fabric internal layer, an anti-shock foam intermediate layer, and a very fire-resistant fireproof fabric external layer.
“The Ice Bag Fireproof Bag provides a completely safe, practical, and cost-effective solution to the problem of a possible deflagration of an electric scooter battery.” “The Ice Bag provides additional security not only during loading but also to protect the environment at all times,” says Daniel Oliver Bultó, president of LOBITO IC SL. “We have been developing the Ice Bag for electric scooters for more than a year, and after many tests with different materials and under the most demanding conditions, we have managed to obtain a completely safe and easy-to-use product, all at a very reasonable price,” says scar Creix, CEO of LOBITO IC SL. PVP between 149 and 165 euros”.
