Electra E-Bikes Recalled Due to Crash Hazard From Loose Rear Fender

Trek is recalling about 927 Electra e-bikes because the rear fender can come loose, contact the rear wheel, and stop the bike unexpectedly, posing a crash hazard. One injury with a fractured shinbone and meniscus tear has been reported.

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: One rider sustained a fractured shinbone and meniscus tear, qualifying as a significant injury. The mechanical defect in the rear fender assembly meets the rubric criterion for structural defect with injury reports.

Plain-English summary

Trek Bicycle Corporation is recalling approximately 927 Electra Navigator Go! (model years 2021 and 2022) and Electra Ace of Spades Go! (model years 2018, 2021, and 2022) e-bikes. The rear fender on these e-bikes can come loose and make contact with the rear wheel, causing the bike to stop unexpectedly. This can cause the rider to lose control of the bike, posing a crash hazard.

The recalled e-bikes were sold nationwide and online through Trek-owned bicycle stores, independent bicycle stores, and at www.electra.trekbikes.com from June 2018 through August 2023 for approximately $3,000 each. Trek has received two reports of the rear fender coming loose and making contact with the rear wheel, including one report involving a rider who sustained a fractured shinbone, a meniscus tear, and scrapes.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled e-bikes and contact an authorized Trek or Electra retailer to receive a free repair to replace the rear fender bolts. Trek is contacting all known purchasers directly. For additional information, consumers can contact Trek at 800-373-4594 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit www.trekbikes.com.
