Description
The recall includes all 1999 through 2001 model BikeE bicycles with 27- inch-tall seat backs, silver-colored seat frames with black mesh seat backs. "BikeE" is written on the frame of these bicycles. Recumbent BikeE bicycles with seat backs lower than 27 inches are not included in this recall. Seats with silver-colored rings around the black plastic clamps that attach the seat to the frame of the bicycle have been repaired or are not part of the recall. CPSC and BikeE announced the recall of 700 recumbent tandem bicycles on November 14, 2001, because the steerer tube on the front forks could separate.
Hazard
The recumbent seats on these bicycles can crack and break, causing the seat to come off the frame and resulting in injury to the rider.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using these bicycles immediately. 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.
Incidents and injuries
BikeE Corp. has received two reports of seats on these bicycles breaking while riding, resulting in one injury, that included a broken leg.
