Summary

Allen Sports is recalling about 150 Ultra1 and UltraX carbon fiber folding bicycles because the bike's frame can break during use, causing the bicycle to collapse. The firm has received two reports of frames breaking and riders falling, though no injuries have been reported. These 20-speed bicycles were sold in black on Amazon.com and eBay from May 2014 through July 2017 for between $500 and $4,000. Affected consumers should immediately stop using the bicycles and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.

Risk

The carbon fiber frame can crack or snap while the bicycle is being ridden, causing the bike to suddenly collapse and posing a fall and injury hazard to the rider.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your bicycle frame for the model name 'ULTRA X' or 'ULTRA ONE' printed on the frame to see if it is included in this recall.
  2. Verify the specifications: both affected models are black carbon fiber folding bicycles with 20 speeds and 451MM wheels (Ultra One weighs about 21 lbs; Ultra X weighs about 18 lbs).
  3. Immediately stop using any recalled Ultra1 or UltraX bicycles due to the risk of the frame breaking.
  4. Take a photo of your bicycle and email it to Allen Sports at customerservice@allensportsusa.com to receive instructions on how to obtain a full refund.
