"At the end of January, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of nearly 20,000 Trek and Electra e-bikes. The affected bikes are the Trek FX+ 1 and the Electra Townie Go!. The issue? Apparently, the rear wheel bolts are breaking when torqued, allowing the wheel to separate from the bike."
"CPSC indicates that these bikes were sold before October 28, 2025. The bolts in question are black in color and connect the rear hub motor to the bike. Hyena, the company that makes the rear hub motor used in these bikes, also manufactured the bolts."
"If this sounds like you, the CPSC recommends you stop riding immediately and contact a Trek dealer. The repair is free, and Trek even provides participants with a $10 in-store credit good for any Trek, Electra, or Bontrager products."
