Brompton Bicycle has recalled about 600 Electric Folding Bicycles because a software malfunction can cause the motor to continue providing forward momentum even when the rider is not pedaling. The affected bicycles feature a three-section folding frame and 16-inch wheels in colors including black, white, Turkish green, and bolt lacquer. Consumers should stop using the recalled bicycles immediately and contact an authorized dealer for a free software update to Version 1-2-10-2 as detailed in the Your Remedy Options section.
A software defect allows the electric assist system to maintain motor power when a rider stops pedaling, potentially causing unexpected forward movement. The firm has received one report of this malfunction occurring, which poses fall and injury hazards to the rider.
Consumers should stop using the recalled bicycles immediately and contact the nearest authorized Brompton Electric dealer for a free software upgrade to Version 1-2-10-2.
