This recall involves approximately 6,200 Momentum Vida E+ electric bicycles in various colors and frame styles. The fork steerer tube on these bikes can crack or break during use, which may cause the handlebars or front wheel to detach unexpectedly. Giant Bicycle has received four reports of these fork tubes breaking, though no injuries have been reported. The recalled bikes were sold nationwide at Giant Bicycle dealers and online between September 2019 and May 2025. Consumers should immediately stop using these bikes and contact an authorized dealer for a free fork replacement.
The bicycle's fork steerer tube can fail while in use, leading to a sudden loss of steering control or separation of the front wheel. This poses a significant fall hazard that can result in serious injury or death.
To determine whether a Momentum Vida E+ bicycle is included in this recall, consumers should look at the third character of the bike's serial number. Bikes with a serial number in which the third character is "H", "J" or "K" are included in this recall and must have their forks replaced free of charge. Bikes with a serial number in which the third character is "G" require additional visual inspection by an authorized Giant Bicycle dealer to determine fork status.
Serial number is stamped on the outer side of the left rear dropout and on a sticker under the downtube. 'Momentum' is printed on the downtube and 'Vida E+' is on the top tube.
