RECALL: Children's foldable e-bike recalled over safety concerns - what you need to know
- Replies 4
There are plenty of benefits to teaching your grandchildren how to ride a bike. For one, it's a great way to bond with them and spend quality time together. It's also a great way to get them active and moving around, which is important for their overall health and well-being.
Plus, it can be a great confidence booster for kids. It's a skill they can take with them for the rest of their lives, and it's something they can use to explore the world around them.
While there are several bikes available that are marketed for children, it is important to double-check whether the product is safe for use.
An urgent recall has been issued for a children's foldable e-bike because it poses a severe risk of serious harm.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) confirmed the recall of eZee Viento folding e-bikes, saying that several reports suggested that the frames could break during use.
The bikes were being sold since 2015. Credit: ACCC.
It should be noted that cyclists could sustain catastrophic injuries if the frame fractures while they are riding.
The bikes, which were sold since 2015, were available in select bike shops in Melbourne, Perth, and Canberra, as well as in Glow Worm Bicycles stores in Sydney and Melbourne.
The ACCC recommended that bike owners stop using the product right away and get in touch with the store where they purchased the bike to arrange for a replacement frame.
Customers can email Glow Worm Bicycles at [email protected] for further information.
