This recall involves approximately 280 Vitus 14 and Vitus 16 Kids Bikes sold in various colors like purple, silver, and blue/lime green. These bicycles, which were sold online through Wiggle and Chain Reaction Cycles from January 2017 to April 2021, are being recalled because they lack footbrakes (coaster brakes) required by federal safety regulations for sidewalk bicycles. Wiggle Ltd. is contacting purchasers directly to provide a free replacement wheel equipped with a footbrake.
Young children may be unable to stop the bicycle using only the handbrakes, creating a crash hazard. While no injuries have been reported, the lack of a footbrake violates federal safety standards for children's sidewalk bicycles.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled bikes away from children and stop using them. Wiggle Ltd. is contacting all purchasers directly and is providing a free replacement wheel with footbrake.
