Giant Bicycle Recalls Momentum Vida E+ E-Bikes Due to Fork Steerer Tube Failure

Giant Bicycle is recalling about 6,200 Momentum Vida E+ E-bikes because the fork steerer tube can crack or break during use, creating a fall hazard. Four instances of fork failure have been reported, but no injuries.

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: This is a confirmed structural defect (fork steerer tube cracking/breaking in four reported cases) that poses a fall hazard, which could cause serious injury. However, no injuries have been reported, placing it in the 'High' category per the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Giant Bicycle Inc. is recalling about 6,200 Momentum Vida E+ E-bikes sold nationwide and online from September 2019 through May 2025. The affected bikes come in various colors (metallic red, pearl white, metallic navy blue, metallic green, indigo blue, happy mint, and panther) and configurations (mid-step and low-step frames in small, medium, and large sizes).

The fork steerer tube on the recalled bicycles can crack, break, or separate during use, posing a fall hazard. Giant Bicycle has received four reports of broken fork steerer tubes. No injuries have been reported to date.

To determine if a Momentum Vida E+ bicycle is included in this recall, consumers should check the third character of the bike's serial number. Bikes with the third character "H," "J," or "K" are included in the recall and must have their forks replaced free of charge. Bikes with the third character "G" require additional visual inspection by an authorized Giant Bicycle dealer to determine fork status. The serial number is stamped on the frame's outer left rear dropout and on a printed sticker under the downtube.
