Summary

Approximately 240 Gen 2 Bionic Runner bicycles are being recalled because the pedals can detach during use.

These bicycles mimic a running motion, are black with red pedals and trim, and were sold exclusively online at Run4.com between May 2016 and September 2016 for about $900. Consumers should stop using the bicycles and contact Running Trainer to receive free replacement pedals.
