BikeE Recalls
Sweet seat 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.
The CPSC says:

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."
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.
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."
Some dealers who sold BikeE bikes may have parts in stock to repair these bikes.
