Pacific Cycle Recalls Ascend Electric Bikes Due to Fire Hazard

What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a significant injury (second-degree burns) already reported, combined with a structural/manufacturing defect (improper wiring assembly) that creates a fire hazard. This meets the Severe threshold for reported injury with a serious potential consequence.
