Garage fires can be prevented with a home Flame Detector.

Electric bikes and Electric scooters are revolutionizing the way we commute, providing an eco-friendly and efficient mode of transportation. However, like any other electronic device, e-bikes come with their own set of risks—particularly the danger of battery fires. Storing your e-bike in the garage might seem like a practical solution, but without the right safety measures, it can pose a fire hazard. Enter home flame detectors, the first ever residential flame detector designed to provide instant notification of the smallest flame. Not only can our lame detectors detect and alarm hundreds of times faster than traditional smoke alarms, they also sends push notifications to phones of the fire and its location. While our flame detectors can serve as a whole home solution, they are especially applicable in garages because smoke alarms are not supposed to be installed in garages according to their manufacturers.

The Hidden Dangers of Electric Bikes and Scooters – Flame Detectors can help keep your garage and home safe.

E-bikes are powered by lithium-ion batteries, which, while efficient, can be volatile under certain conditions. Overcharging, physical damage, manufacturing defects, or exposure to extreme temperatures can cause these batteries to overheat and catch fire. Such fires can be deadly. Storing an e-bike in a garage, often filled with other flammable materials, can pose a significant risk.

Why Smoke Alarm Manufacturers Don’t recommend Smoke Alarms in Garages

Many homeowners rely on smoke alarms to alert them to fire hazards but garages present unique challenges that make smoke alarms unusable.

  • Dust, Exhaust and Insects: The presence of dust, insects and exhaust frequently cause false alarms which is why smoke alarm manufactures tell you not to use them in garages.
  • Temperature Extremes: Garages can experience fluctuating temperatures which exceed the manufacturers’ operating temperatures.

A Flame Detector: The Perfect Solution for the Garage

Our flame detectors offers a superior alternative to traditional smoke alarms, providing early detection of open flames. Here’s why flame detection is the ideal choice for your garage:
