Linus Bike has recalled about 430 of its Cesta 500 and Ero 500 electric bicycles because the front fork can crack during use. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, this defect poses a serious crash risk to riders. The bicycles were sold at independent bike shops nationwide and online at linusbike.com between January 2020 and October 2022.
The bicycle's front fork can crack, which may lead to a structural failure while the bike is in motion. This can cause the rider to lose control and crash, potentially resulting in serious injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact Linus Bike to schedule a free fork replacement. Linus is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Serial number is located on the underside of the frame near the chain ring.
