Pacific Cycle is recalling about 1,700 Ascend Cabrillo and Minaret electric bikes because the battery's wiring harness was improperly assembled. This defect can cause the battery to overheat and catch fire while charging. There have been three reports of the battery catching fire, resulting in one report of a consumer suffering second-degree burns. These e-bikes were sold at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's nationwide between January 2023 and November 2023 for approximately $1,400 to $1,500.
The wiring harness that manages battery charging can overheat during use, posing a serious fire hazard. One injury involving second-degree burns has already been reported due to a battery fire.
Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the recalled electric bikes. Consumers should enter their serial number on www.pacific-cycle.com/safety-notices-recalls before returning the bike(s) to confirm their electric bike is part of the recall. Return the recalled bikes to Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's to receive a full refund.
