Approximately 240 Gen 2 Bionic Runner bicycles are being recalled because the pedals can detach during use. One rider has already reported falling and sustaining scrapes to their knees and fingers after a pedal came off. 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.
The pedals can unexpectedly detach from the frame while the bicycle is in motion, causing the rider to lose their balance and fall. One injury involving scrapes and cuts has been reported as a result of this defect.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact Running Trainer to receive free replacement pedals. The firm has contacted all registered owners directly.
