Plain-English summary

The Fat Tire Trike, an aluminum adult three-wheeled electric tricycle sold in matte black, is being recalled. It has a rectangular label on the downtube near the front of the frame with the word "Pedego" printed on it.

The trike frame can develop a hairline fracture near a weld, which can cause the tubes to separate, posing fall and laceration hazards. Pedego has received 16 reports of the trike frame breaking, including one report of a laceration to the leg.

About 400 units were sold at Pedego stores nationwide and online at PedegoElectricBikes.com from March 2024 through March 2025 for between $3,500 and $4,000.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled trikes and contact Pedego to schedule a repair replacing a section of the frame, installed by a Pedego dealer of their choice at no charge. Consumers should fill out the registration form at https://pedegoelectricbikes.com/pages/product-recalls.
