45k eBikes recalled due to brake problem

(CPSC)

The company Lectric eBikes has recalled $45,000 of their bikes due to faulty brakes that can cause crashes.

The mechanical disk brake calipers can cause riders to lose control of the bikes. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the company has received four reports of riders losing brake power, resulting in two injuries including a broken bone.

Lectric models purchased between November of last year and May of this year are included in the recall:

XP 3.0
XP 3.0 Long-Range
XP Step-Thru 3.0
XP Step-Thru 3.0 Long-Range
The bike’s model name is printed on the rear rack.

The company advises riders of the recalled bikes to stop using the bikes. Go to the company’s website to get a free repair kit.

Lectric eBikes is also contacting consumers directly.
