Rad Power Bikes is recalling the RadWagon 4 Electric Cargo Bikes, which were sold in white, black, and orange. The rim strip that’s on the tires may be misaligned, which can cause damage to the tire. In addition, tires with a ribbed sidewall have been known to go flat unexpectedly, thereby putting the rider at risk of crashing or falling off the bike. Along with the ebikes, the manufacturer is recalling RadWagon 4 tires that were sold under the name “Rad Power Bikes by VEE Tire Co.”
The manufacturer is offering a free repair service to replace the tires and rim strips, which consumers can schedule by contacting Rad Power Bikes. However, this remedy does not address the fact that numerous people have already been injured on these bikes. As an accident victim, you may have the right to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer and receive compensation for your harm and suffering.
