The Electra Bicycle Co. is recalling 3,000 of its delivery style bikes because the front tray can come loose, potentially causing the rider to lose control and fall.
The company based in Vista, California, reports four such incidents, including one with minor cuts and bruises.
The company is recalling 3,000 Delivery 3i, Delivery 8D, Holiday 3i and Surf 3i models in conjunction with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The bikes were sold through Electra Bicycle dealers from October 2008 to February 2009, costing between $600 and $750.
Bicycles with trays connected to the fork crown with a bolt passing fully through the tab are not included in the recall. (See pictures at Consumer Product Safety Commission.)
If you're uncertain, stop riding your bicycle immediately and take it to your Electra dealer for free inspection and repair.
