Electra Expands Recall of Bicycles with Front Trays, Baskets

October 15, 2009
Electra Bicycle Company is expanding its recall of bicycles with front trays and baskets. The latest recal is for 2009 model Electra bicycles.

The front tray or basket on the bicycles can come loose and contact the front tire, posing a fall hazard to riders.

Electra Bicycle Co. has received 15 reports of the front tray or the basket coming loose including two reports of minor cuts and bruises.

This recall involves the 2009 Delivery 3i, Delivery 8D, Holiday 3i, Holiday 8i and Surf 3i bicycles with front-mounted trays or baskets. The trays have an alloy frame with wooden slats. The baskets are wicker with a removable tote bag. The trays were sold as original equipment on the bicycles and as aftermarket items. The baskets were sold only as aftermarket items.

The bicycles, made in Taiwan, were sold by authorized Electra Bicycle dealers nationwide from October 2008 through August 2009 for between $600 and $750 for the bicycles and about $100 for after-market trays and baskets.

Consumers should immediately stop riding these bicycles and contact an Electra Bicycle dealer for a free inspection and repair of the trays that came as original equipment on the bicycles, or a refund for trays and baskets purchased as aftermarket items.

For additional information, contact Electra Bicycle at (800) 261-1644 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.electrabike.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
