The fire happened on April 10, 2023, in New York City. The scooter’s battery was being charged by a 48-volt charger also sold by Toos. UL Solutions has issued a public notice concerning the 48-volt chargers. According to the CPSC, Zooz Bikes says that it disagrees with the CPSC’s warning, claiming that in the case of the fatal fire, the wrong voltage charger, 48-volts rather than 60-volts, was used to charge a 60-volt scooter.
