Transpro is recalling 700 electric scooters with defective lithium-ion batteries that caught fire. The batteries have unauthorized UL certification labels and pose serious fire and burn hazards.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Rated Severe because a documented fire incident caused significant property damage ($200,000), meeting the rubric criterion for property-damage reports. The demonstrated fire hazard and unauthorized battery certification indicate serious risk despite no reported injuries.

Plain-English summary

Transpro US Inc. is recalling 700 Transpro brand electric scooters: the A3 Hub Motor, A11F Spark, and R1 Commuter models. The scooters are powered by lithium-ion batteries located beneath the deck. The batteries carry unauthorized lithium-ion battery UL certification labels.

The lithium-ion batteries in these scooters present a serious fire and burn hazard. Transpro received one report of a recalled scooter catching fire, which caused at least $200,000 in property damage. No injuries have been reported to date.

The recalled scooters were sold at bike and electronics stores in the Northeast between August 2024 and April 2025, priced between $250 and $400.

Consumers should immediately stop using and charging the recalled scooters.
