While the scooter was plugged in and charging with the original Gotrax charger, the battery caught fire on January 10, 2026 around 10pm ESTin my garage, producing heavy smoke and multiple popping/explosive sounds. The scooter had been charging for about four hoursat the time of the incident. For safety reasons, I had to move it outside immediately to prevent further damage to my home. Thankfully, no one was injured, but this was avery alarming and dangerous event, especially considering this is a childrens product that is nearly brand new and was used exactly as instructed.
