RECALL WARNING: Cheap e-bike (Ridstar) maker refuses recall as CPSC tells riders to get rid of it immediately
RECALL WARNING: Cheap e-bike (Ridstar) maker refuses recall as CPSC tells riders to get rid of it immediately - sh.itjust.works
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a stark warning to riders of the Ridstar Q20 and Q20 Pro electric bikes, urging owners to stop using them immediately due to a serious fire risk. But in a troubling twist, the manufacturer has refused to cooperate with a recall. Without an agreement, the CPSC’s notice isn’t an official recall, but rather a warning to owners of the apparent danger hidden in this specific manufacturer’s e-bike. According to the CPSC, the issue stems from the bikes’ lithium-ion battery systems and associated wiring, which can ignite and pose a significant fire hazard. The agency says it is aware of at least 11 incidents involving fires linked to the e-bikes. Those incidents include one reported burn injury, five cases of smoke inhalation, and two instances of property damage totaling more than $40,000.

Kit BashirSerious offer: i know how to make electric bicycles, electrify analog bicycles and repair broken electric bikes/scooters. If you are in #Brisbane, feeling fuel pinch, and want to get (back/newly) on two wheels, hit me up. Parts to electrify a bicycle cost a few hundred dollars, no need to spend $4000 on a store bike if you don’t want to. I even have some analog bikes we could use for parts. If you have access to ex rental scooters from defunct rental companies, i can also help resurrect these.
Will hold a weekend #ebike #escooter #micromobility workshop if there is interest.
ETA: if not in brissy i can recommend parts to buy
ETFA: if you have a good bike but a dead battery, this can be resurrected for around $100
ETEFA: your replies tell me I'd better pump out a blog post on this subject pronto.
