Recall of electric bicycles in Germany: Details
According to the company's information, the reason for the recall is "excessively high maximum speed".
The error seems to be not in the motor of the electric bicycle itself but in the circumference of the wheel, which deviates from specifications. For this reason, it is prohibited to use these electronic mountain bikes on public roads.
The affected model is the Reaction Hybrid Rookie SLX 400 Teamline 2023 27.5 (XS / 13.5 inches).
All owners of such electric bicycles are recommended to refrain from using them. The reason is simple – there is a risk of losing driver's licenses.
In the event of an inspection or a traffic accident followed by a police investigation, the possibility of losing driver's licenses cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer emphasizes this, warning of potential unpleasant consequences.
Cube is a German bicycle manufacturer based in Waldershof, Bavaria.
The company operates in all segments of the bicycle industry but gained its popularity primarily through mountain bikes. Cube also sponsors cycling teams and events.
Recalls and warnings are not exclusive to supermarket products. As evidenced by the Cube recall, automobiles and bicycles sometimes have defects that can be more serious or even pose a danger to users.
Therefore, it's essential not to ignore information about a specific model of an electric bicycle being recalled. This can result in quite unpleasant consequences for the owner of such a vehicle. It's advisable to simply refrain from using the electric bicycle in question.
Few would be pleased if a police officer stops them and discovers structural defects in their vehicle. The loss of driver's licenses can be a significant blow to many individuals.
