Electra Bicycle Company Recalls Amsterdam Bicycles


Chainguard Derails Posing Injury Risk

About 9,500 Amsterdam Bicycles imported by Electra Bicycle Company, LLC of Vista, CA, are being recalled because the interior alignment tabs of the bicycle's chainguard can be pushed against the chain causing it to derail, which poses a risk of injury to riders.

To-date, Electra has received four reports of the chainguard derailing the chain, including one report of minor cuts and abrasion from a fall.

This recall involves some Amsterdam model bicycles in the Classic 3, Original 3, Royal 8, and Sport 3 styles. The bicycles have an enclosed chainguard. "Electra" and "Amsterdam" are printed on the bicycle's frame and/or chainguard. Bicycles with frame numbers beginning with "F06" or "EL" or bicycles with chainguards marked "06/08" are not included in this recall. The frame number is located on the underside of the bottom bracket.

The bicycles were sold through authorized Electra Bicycle dealers nationwide from January 2007 through June 2008 for between $400 and $850.
