A fault in the bike’s frame welding may cause the frame to break while in use.
Due to a manufacturing defect, the handlebar can crack or break unexpectedly during use.
The aluminium inserts from the carbon on the crank arms may suddenly detach from the crank body.
The fork steerer tube on the affected electric bicycle may develop a crack which could lead to a failure of the fork.
The handlebar can break during use making the bicycle difficult to steer.
The crank bolt may come loose, which may cause the bike’s crank arm to dislodge from the drive shaft.
Due to a manufacturing fault the rear brakes on affected bicycles may not function correctly.
Excessive braking force may cause the outermost carbon layers to delaminate, resulting in cracks and weaken the fork structure. This can lead to a complete failure of the left fork blade.
The grease inside the coaster brakes does not adequately lubricate the surface, which could cause the brakes to wear faster and damage the brakes.
Due to a manufacturing fault, the canister can forcefully eject from the base of the pump when pressurised.
Affected helmets do not comply with the mandatory standard for bicycle helmets . The buckle on these helmets may separate from the chin strap because the strap has not folded and sewn.
Separation of the layers of the rim flange can occur which can weaken the wheel, causing it to collapse.
The frame may crack around the kickstand mount and affect the safe parking of the e-bike when using the kickstand.
Due to an issue with the chain guard loose clothing may get entrapped in the drivetrain.
The steerer tube may crack or break during use.
The affected kickstand mounting plate welds may be faulty on some bicycles and the kickstand may fail if it overloaded. Consumers may not be aware of the risks associated with the kickstand use or carrying a passenger on the rear section of the bicycle.
The stem and handlebar may crack, leading to breaking or detachment. This may occur after impacts such as striking a pothole or kerb.
Over time air may enter the brake hydraulic system or fluid may leak from the brake lever or calliper which can cause a loss in braking power.
The cycle frames may crack or break near the bottom bracket where the cranks/pedals are fitted.
The crank arm can loosen and may detach from the spindle while in use. This defect has occurred.
The flame retardant Decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE) has been detected in the harness padding at levels that may pose a health risk during long-term exposure/ingestion.
The frames should have 2 welds connecting the down tube and head tube. Recalled frames only have one, making the connection weaker. If the weld becomes damaged, the headtube may separate from the frame.
The frames should have 2 welds connecting the down tube and head tube. Recalled frames only have one, making the connection weaker. If the weld becomes damaged, the headtube may separate from the frame.
These bicycles don’t comply with the mandatory standard for bicycles. The front wheels may become loose and fall out if the quick release (QR) skewer is not installed and tightened correctly.
The bonded crank parts can separate and break, causing the crank arm to separate from the main crank arm-body.
The tyre beading may separate (unseat) from the rim. This will cause the tyre to immediately and completely deflate.
The hoses on affected brakes may eject or pull out from the brake lever and lead to improper engagement of the brake hose to the brake lever.
Corrosion can lead to cracks in the clamping area of the fork steerer tube.
The bicycle frame may crack or break below the rear suspension during use.
These helmets may not comply with the mandatory standard for bicycle helmets . The retention straps may not be properly attached to the helmet.
The handlebar may come loose from the bicycle.
The handlebars may crack or break where the brake/shift levers are installed.
If overloaded, the carbon Base Bar and Handlebar/Stem can crack.
If overtightened, a nut on the front wheel may be damaged and could become loose. If this occurs, the front wheel nut could become dislodged during cycling.
A connecting screw that secures the front steering stem extension and foldable handlebar pivot point can potentially snap and break.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the mandatory safety standard for bicycles . The bicycles do not have a rear back-pedal brake.
During assembly, a spacer was installed behind the drive side bottom bracket bearing, increasing the bracket width. As a result, the crank arm is not completely attached to the crank spindle, and the crank arm safety tab cannot lock into the spindle. This can cause crank arms and pedals to fall off affected bicycles.
The scooter's steering tube could crack or break.
Due to a manufacturing defect, the handlebars may break.
The bicycle’s fork steerer tube can crack or break after heavy impact.
The bicycle handlebars may bend under excessive force.
The bicycle axle may have been damaged when initially installed and/or during use with the Coho® XC Cargo Trailer.
The bracket bolted to the bicycle may not keep the rack secure. The rack may come loose and fall onto the front wheel.
The front brake adapter may not have been installed properly, which may cause increased wear on brake pads over time, leading to insufficient braking power.
The wall thickness of the drop bars on the bike's handles may be too thin and the clamping screws where the drop bars connect to the integrated brake and shifting lever may be tightened (or re-tightened) too tightly. This could cause the drop bar to crack or break.
Affected bicycles may not meet the front hub retention requirements of the 'Trade Practices Act 1974 - Consumer Protection Notice No. 6 of 2004 - Consumer Product Safety Standard: Pedal Bicycles: Safety Requirements'. The front wheel may dislodge from the front fork if the Quick Release Skewer is not properly tightened and secured.
The scooter's deck may crack or break. The scooter’s deck also has sharp exposed metal sections.
The pedal axle may break.
