ELECTRIC MOBILITY PROTECTION
FIRE RESISTANT BAG FOR ELECTRIC SCOOTER
Texfire’s fire resistant bag is designed to act as a containment barrier against fires caused by lithium battery thermal runaway in electric scooters. Made with fire-resistant technical fabrics, it limits heat propagation and reduces the risk of harm to people, vehicles, and nearby surroundings.
RISKS OF OWNING AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER
Electric scooters have become a popular means of transportation, offering a practical and sustainable solution for urban mobility. However, these devices also come with certain risks, especially those associated with their lithium batteries.
IMPACT ON A CELL
An impact can cause one or more cells to break, leading to an immediate explosion.
ELECTRICAL OVERCHARGE
Overcharging the battery can also result in the explosion of one of its cells.
OVERHEATING
A manufacturing defect or prolonged exposure to a heat source can cause the cells to overheat and ignite.
THE DANGER OF LITHIUM BATTERIES
The lithium batteries in electric scooters pose a significant danger when a reaction known as thermal runaway occurs within their cells. This term refers to the chain reaction in which fire spreads from one cell to the surrounding ones.
Fires generated in lithium cells are extremely difficult to control with conventional methods. The reaction releases high temperatures, toxic gases, and dense smoke, seriously compromising the safety of people and property. This chain reaction can be triggered by various factors such as overcharging, the use of non-certified chargers, impacts, prolonged exposure to high temperatures, or natural degradation over time.
In the event of such incidents, it is essential to have passive safety solutions like Texfire’s fire resistant bag, which acts as a containment barrier and minimises the effects of the fire.
FIRE-RESISTANT BAG TEST FOR ELECTRIC SCOOTERS
Test conducted to validate the resistance and effectiveness of Texfire’s fire resistant bag for electric scooters, designed to protect against fires caused by lithium batteries. The cover acts as a barrier against flames and explosions that may result from overheating, impacts, or electrical overcharge.
During the test, the cover successfully demonstrated its ability to effectively contain the flames, gases, and heat generated by the battery, without extinguishing the fire, but preventing its spread and protecting the surroundings.
FIRE RESISTANT BAG FOR SCOOTERS
At Texfire, we develop technical solutions to provide safety against the risks associated with lithium batteries. The fire resistant cover for electric scooters has been specifically designed to contain fires and explosions from battery cells.
It is made with three layers of fire-resistant technical fabrics: an outer fireproof and waterproof layer, an insulating middle layer that minimises heat transmission, and an aluminised inner layer that acts as a thermal shield.
The design includes a double-locking system made up of metal zippers, safety snaps, and a protective flap to ensure an effective seal in the event of a battery cell deflagration. It is also equipped with sturdy handles for safe and convenient transport, making it suitable for use at home, on public transport, or in shared spaces.
APPLICATIONS AND USES OF THE BAG
Texfire’s fire resistant bag is designed to provide protection in a wide range of settings, both when the scooter is stationary and during charging:
Homes
Offices
Schools
Charging stations
E-scooter retail businesses
Public transport
