Super73 has recalled the brakes on about 1,400 Super73 electric bikes that were sold between April and September 2024.
There is a risk of brake failure, which poses a crash and injury hazard, due to a potential loose retaining pin on some of the brake calipers.
There were 21 reports of loose retaining pins and/or brake failure related to the problem, resulting in one minor injury.
The following Super73 e-bike models are being recalled:
- Super73 — Z Miami SE (900-00288, 900-00309, 900-00313)
- Super73 — Z Adventure Series Core (900-00308)
Super73 is warning people who own these e-bikes to “please stop using it immediately” due to a risk of brake failure:
“A loose retaining pin on the brake calipers can potentially cause the brake pads to be misaligned or drop from the caliper, causing the brakes to become non-functional.”
The recalled e-bikes were sold at the Super73 store in Irvine, California, other bicycle stores nationwide and online at https://Super73.com from April 2024 through September 2024.
