BikeE Recalls

 

Sweet seat recall:

BikeE Corp. recalled 13,500 bicycles because the seats can break and detach from the frame, according to the Associated Press. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said BikeE received two reports of seats breaking while the bike was in use, resulting in one injury that included a broken leg. BikeE-authorized dealers nationwide began selling these bikes in February 1999. The recall includes all 1999-2001 models with 27-inch-tall seat backs with silver-colored seat frames. Seats with silver-colored rings around the black plastic clamps attaching the seat to the bike frame have already been repaired or are not included in the recall. Seats with black aluminum seat frames are not included in this recall. Seats with seat backs under 26" tall are not included in this recall.

 

Is your BikeE affected by this recall?

 

If your BikeE seat frame is silver and your seat back has lumbar curve it may be recalled. The 4 black plastic seat sliders that hold the seat on the bike should have silver metal rings around them on these high back seats. If they do not have the silver metal rings your seat is recalled and you should not ride the bike until you replace the 4 sliders. We have the replacement seat sliders, 4 for $24.50,  see our BikeE accessory page for more details.
 

The CPSC says:

 

Consumers should stop using these bicycles immediately. The firm, BikeE, is out of business and cannot be contacted. As the firm is no longer involved with this recall, consumers can take a recalled bicycle to the dealer from which purchased, but it is up to the dealer as to whether the repair can be performed, and whether there is a charge.

Front suspension recall:

 

In August 2001, BikeE recalled 1,400 FX and RX bikes with defective front suspension forks. These forks can cause riders to lose control and fall. BikeE began selling these bikes through dealers in December 1999.  The link pins in the forks can fall out, causing the rider to lose control of the bicycle, fall, and possibly suffer serious injuries. BikeE Corp. has received two reports of pins falling out of forks, resulting in two minor injuries to riders.

As the firm is no longer involved with this recall, consumers can take a recalled bicycle to the dealer from which purchased, but it is up to the dealer as to whether the repair can be performed, and whether there is a charge."

E2 tandem recall:

 

BikeE Corp. voluntarily recalled 700 recumbent tandem bicycles. The steerer tube on the front forks can separate, causing the rider to lose control of the bicycle, fall, and possibly suffer serious injuries. BikeE dealers sold these bicycles beginning March 2000.
