CPSC, BikeE Corp. Announce Recall of Recumbent Bicycles

What was recalled

The recall includes all 1999 through 2001 model BikeE bicycles with 27- inch-tall seat backs, silver-colored seat frames with black mesh seat backs. "BikeE" is written on the frame of these bicycles. Recumbent BikeE bicycles with seat backs lower than 27 inches are not included in this recall. Seats with silver-colored rings around the black plastic clamps that attach the seat to the frame of the bicycle have been repaired or are not part of the recall. CPSC and BikeE announced the recall of 700 recumbent tandem bicycles on November 14, 2001, because the steerer tube on the front forks could separate.

Where it was sold

• BikeE authorized dealers nationwide sold the recalled recumbent bicycles, from February 1999 through February 2002, for between $550 and $2,150.
