'Jets of flaming gas venting from the tops of cells in the e-bike battery turned each into a tiny, unguided metal rocket,' the lawsuit said.

One of two companies involved in e-bike battery production and sales has denied liability for a fatal Jan. 31, 2022 fire that claimed the life of a Vancouver man.

“Jets of flaming gas venting from the tops of cells in the e-bike battery turned each into a tiny, unguided metal rocket,” said one of three notices of civil claim filed by Sharples. Sharples said she escaped by shattering a bedroom window and climbing across a ledge four storeys above the ground to a neighbour’s balcony.

Royer said it was contacted by Sharples in June 2021 but denied that it had inspected and serviced the battery prior to its failure as Sharples claimed.Royer said the fire was caused by negligence on the part of Lilley or Daymak.
