Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Origin8 has recalled about 1,600 folding bicycles across three models: the F1 (matte black), F3 (white), and F7 (gray). The bicycle frames can break during use, which poses a significant fall hazard to riders. There have been 13 reports of frame welds cracking or failing, though no injuries have been reported yet. These bicycles were sold at independent bike dealers nationwide between August 2012 and October 2015 for between $370 and $480. Consumers should stop using these bikes immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a free replacement.

Risk

The welds on the bicycle frame can crack or fail completely while the bike is being ridden, causing the frame to break. This can lead to the rider losing control and falling, which may result in serious injury.
