Dad's urgent e-bike warning to Christmas shoppers after heartbreaking family tragedy A grieving dad is warning Christmas shoppers not to buy second hand e-batteries after his whole family died in a horrific house fire.
Scott, 31, from Cambridge, said: “I grieve every day for the family I have lost, but this time of year is especially tough because Gemma and the children had birthdays, and my sister was murdered over New Year.
But just two days after he bought it the battery exploded - killing his partner, Gemma Germeney, 31, and their two young children, Lilly, eight and Oliver, four.
Scott miraculously pulled through after four weeks in a coma and is now trying to rebuild his life, while warning others of the dangers of second-hand lithium batteries.
"At Christmas, when people are buying e-bikes as gifts, I am pleading with people not to buy second hand batteries.
