What to do now
The risk with Yidi Electric Golf Scooter is fire: a fault could cause it to overheat, melt or ignite.
- Unplug it and do not charge it again.
- Store it away from anything that burns until you can return or dispose of it. Batteries should go to a battery recycling point, not the household bin.

- Report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service if the seller does not respond.
