How to Choose the Right Fire Safety Product for Your Electric Scooter

If you own an electric scooter, you have probably thought about where to store it, how to charge it safely, and what would happen in the unlikely event of a battery fire. The good news is that there are practical, tested solutions, and each one is designed for a different situation.

At ICe, we have developed a range of fire safety products for electric scooters: the ICe BAG family of fireproof bags (S1 to S5) and the ICe fireproof blanket. They are complementary products: they cover different moments, and many owners choose to have more than one.

This guide compares the two product types and helps you decide which one fits your situation.

The ICe BAG: fireproof containment for charging and storage

The ICe BAG is a fireproof containment bag designed to hold your electric scooter during charging and storage. The idea is simple: the scooter goes inside the bag, and in the event of an incident with the battery, the fire, heat, and gases are contained inside, protecting your home, your family, and your surroundings.

Its strength is that this is permanent, planned protection. It is in place beforehand and works by itself: every night you leave the scooter charging, every day you keep it in the hallway, and every trip you take it on, including with an empty house. And it covers the moment of greatest exposure, which is charging.

All ICe BAG models share the same three-layer complex, rated UL 94 V-0 for the complex and UL 94 VTM-0 for the outer fabric, and are tested in an independent laboratory against a real thermal runaway (ATS laboratory, report ATSR240420811).

To get the most from it, charge the scooter inside the closed bag, in a ventilated room, on a firm surface and with the bag in plain sight.

The range has five formats, from the compact storage bag to the vertical fireproof garage, to match how you store, charge or transport your scooter. To pick the specific model, the full guide is here: ICe BAG Range: 5 fireproof bags for 5 ways of using your electric scooter.

The ICe fireproof blanket: emergency response for any situation

The ICe fireproof blanket is a different type of product. You keep it to hand, folded in a drawer or hung on a wall, and you unfold it over a device at the moment of an incident, covering it quickly to limit the spread of heat and flames to surrounding surfaces.

Its strength is versatility. It works on any device showing signs of overheating: e-bikes, laptops, power banks, cordless tools or other lithium-powered equipment. It is a useful emergency tool for the home, garage, workshop or workplace, and it is ready in seconds.

Bag or blanket: how they differ

Put another way: the bag protects proactively, every time you charge or store your scooter. The blanket provides a rapid response when something unexpected happens anywhere else in the house.

Which product is right for you?

• You charge or store the scooter at home, in the garage or at the office. The ICe BAG is your foundation: it covers the moment of greatest exposure and does so by itself, at all times.
• You move the scooter daily by car, train or lift. The ICe BAG again, in one of its transport formats, so the barrier travels with you.
• You also want to cover the other lithium-battery devices in your home. The ICe fireproof blanket extends protection to laptops, power banks, e-bikes and any equipment showing signs of overheating.
• You want the most complete cover. Bag and blanket together: the bag works continuously on the scooter, the blanket gives you an immediate response anywhere else in the house.

All ICe products are designed around the same principle: protecting the people and spaces around your scooter, as well as the scooter itself. Whatever your situation, there is an ICe solution that fits.
