Thanks, Man, I did purchase the EU model at the end of February, It's still in the box. I just wanted to get the bike before they're gone.

I see the post as now been removed by the author from the Facebook group . I think the general consensus on the post was the fire started due to two factors .The battery may have been left on by mistake & the small pouch shown in pictures over time had been chafing into the power cable, causing a short circuit in electrical systems .

Images of incident

Sorry about that guys. Here is what the guy that posted wrote ...... Nearly missed losing my camper to a fire. Last night at 3am I woke up to the smell of smoke in my 5th wheel, I got everyone up and out and found that my Radmini had caught the furniture blanket on fire. Very lucky I caught this in time before it caught the actual rig on fire. Upon inspection it appears the wire/connector pictured below started heating up and melted my tool pouch which spread to the furniture blanket, the battery appears to be warped on one side as well. I have traveled with these bikes stored in here for 3yrs now and am baffled as to how this happened. They were not plugged in or charging I'm posting this because I know there are a lot of people that travel as I do with our bikes in our RV storage. If I hadn't of been home I could have lost everything I own including our pets. Be safe out there.

I do not have a Radmini myself, but saw this post on the rad owners Group on Facebook ...https://www.facebook.com/groups/radpowerowners/permalink/3243362512614674

Curious - do you unplug your TVs and all other electrical appliances during a lightning storm? Because that is the safest.

Hi DickB ,answering your question, I do unplug anything electronic like the TV in the house going to bed normally anyway, So I would do the same in a lighting storm. But we do not get too many lighting storms here in Ireland.A Lithium battery fire and a TV fire are a too different ball games .

It looks like the end of the Rover 5 on the US market .The Rad Rhino 5 is still available for Europe . 

Hi lads, Anybody know if that speed hack in the hidden menu in the stock display still works on the new 250w EU motors that the Radrhino 5 has now, Thanks.

I store & more importantly charge my batteries in an old safe, I have put a chain as a handle on the safe if something were to happen , I can pick it up and put it outside. Also, have a smoke detector & powder filled fire extinguisher near to where you store or charge your battery. Mount your battery charger on an old metal rack/oven grill to let plenty of air circulated and keep the charger cool while charging.
