BikeE recumbent tandem bicycles
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BikeE is recalling recumbent tandem bicycles manufactured in 2000 and 2001. These bicycles have two handlebars and two seats positioned in a lowered, horizontal riding position, with "BikeE" printed on both sides of the main frame. The steerer tube on the front forks can separate during use, which can cause riders to lose control of the bicycle, fall, and suffer serious injuries.
Since BikeE is no longer in business, consumers who own recalled bicycles should stop using them immediately. Affected consumers can take their recalled bicycle to the dealer from which it was originally purchased; however, whether the dealer will perform repairs and whether there will be a charge is at the dealer's discretion. Consumers can identify recalled E2 models by checking the serial number on the bottom of the frame between the foot crank and front wheel for the format BX000000X or T00000 (where X is a letter and 0 is a number).
