We all know that electric vehicles are not allowed to enter elevators, so are electric scooters allowed to enter elevators? Let's analyze it together.
Electric scooters use lithium batteries as a power source, which, like electric bicycles, poses a fire hazard. Lithium batteries may cause fires in the case of overcharging, over discharging or short circuit, and in a closed elevator space, once a fire occurs, the fire will spread rapidly and produce toxic smoke, posing a serious threat to personnel safety. Therefore, if an electric scooter is driven into an elevator, there is a certain fire hazard.
However, according to laws and regulations, although the "Regulations on Fire Safety Management of High-rise Civil Buildings" and other laws and regulations do not directly mention electric scooters, they explicitly prohibit electric bicycles from entering public areas such as elevators. Based on the similar fire risks of electric scooters and electric bicycles, many places include them in the scope of prohibition.
For public safety considerations, elevators are public facilities, and their safe use is related to the safety of life and property of many people. Prohibiting electric scooters from entering elevators helps to reduce the risk of fire and ensure that people can evacuate quickly in an emergency.
As people gradually realize that lithium batteries have certain risks when operating elevators, many property management and community regulations have explicitly prohibited electric scooters from entering elevators, and posted relevant notices. Although some communities allow entry due to the lack of clear regulations, more and more properties have begun to take restrictive measures based on safety considerations.
In summary, in order to ensure public and personal safety, it is not recommended to push electric scooters into elevators.
