As the government probes multiple fires in electric two-wheelers, only 1 per cent household consumers plan to buy an e-scooter in the next six months amid safety and performance concerns, according to data provided by community social media platform LocalCircles.

Around 32 per cent of respondents are not convinced about the safety and performance of electric scooters in August while in March this year, the number stood at 17 per cent - as more than two dozen electric two-wheelers caught fire in March and April, the data shows.
