Super73 Electric Bicycles Recalled for Brake Failure and Crash Hazard

Super73 is recalling about 1,400 Model Year 2024 Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core e-bikes sold April-September 2024. A retaining pin in the disc brake calipers can dislodge, causing brake failure and crash/injury hazards.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The brake failure hazard poses significant crash and injury risk to riders affecting a critical safety system. However, the actual harm reported—one minor injury from 21 documented incidents—does not meet the 'significant injury' threshold required for Level 4. This warrants Level 3 (High) severity for a risk-of-harm consumer product.

Plain-English summary

Super73 is recalling approximately 1,400 Model Year 2024 Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core electric bicycles.

Super73 has received 21 reports of loose or failed retaining pins and related brake failures, resulting in one minor injury.
