Electric Motorcycle Bursts into Flames in Udon Thani

Firefighters in Udon Thani responded to a call about an electric motorcycle that caught fire on January 9, on a road in front of the Saen Saran housing estate in Nong Bua subdistrict. The vehicle, a white and black Deco brand, was found engulfed in flames. Firefighters arrived promptly and extinguished the fire within ten minutes, but the motorcycle was completely destroyed.

 

The incident occurred as Mrs. Prasong Vinitchai, 69, was riding the motorcycle to her usual noodle shop. She had used the electric vehicle, which cost over 40,000 baht and was purchased by her employer, about four months ago to help save on fuel costs. The motorcycle had been recently charged and parked before she used it that day.

 

According to Mrs. Prasong, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled before she reached her destination. She decided to push it back home but noticed smoke emerging as she approached the housing estate entrance. Alarmed, she parked the bike and sought help. Moments later, the motorcycle burst into flames. A noodle vendor, Mr. Somsak Kingdonnok, quickly used a garden hose to suppress the fire until the fire service arrived.

 

Mrs. Prasong called her employer, who calmly told her not to worry about the loss. However, the incident left her shaken. “I don’t think I’ll ever ride an electric motorcycle again. I’m too scared. I’ll go back to using a petrol-powered vehicle,” she said.

 

Mr. Somsak, the noodle vendor, described Mrs. Prasong as a regular customer who often rode her electric motorcycle to his shop.

 

Authorities have advised the owner to report the incident to the police and contact the vehicle’s manufacturer for a technical investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
