Brompton Bicycle Recalls Foldable Electric Bicycles Due to Crash and Injury Hazards
Recall Overview
| Recall Date | |
|---|---|
| Product | Brompton Electric Folding Bicycles |
| Units | About 2,230 (In addition, about 110 were sold in Canada) |
| Hazards | The mudguard is positioned too close to the front wheel which can cause the wheel to lock up leading to sudden deceleration of the bike if an object gets caught between the mudguard and front tire, posing crash and injury hazards to the rider. |
| Remedies | Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an authorized Brompton dealer for a free repair, which replaces the front mudguard stay and flap and increases the clearance between the mudguard and tire. |
