According to local media reports, it is still unclear why the motorcycle caught fire. Fortunately, there was no loss of any life, and no injury was caused by the fire.
This is not the first time a two-wheeler has caught fire recently - a few days ago, an electric scooter made by Hyderabad startup Pure EV burst into flames near Chennai. The incident was the fourth of its kind in 4 days.
A video of the incident had gone viral on social media, and people raised questions about the safety of EVs.
Other EVs that also caught fire were Ola's S1 electric scooter in Pune, and Okinawa's two-wheeler in Vellore.
