"According to Specialized's safety notice, "The fork steerer tube on affected bikes may develop a small fatigue crack which depending on use could lead to a progressive failure of the fork, posing a fall hazard." The notice applies to all Turbo Como SL 4.0 and 5.0 models with either belt or chain drives. Affected e-bikes were sold starting in 2021 and continuing up to the present."
"The largest stories in e-bike news this week involve recalls from major brands and potentially positive changes to e-bike and micromobility laws in Oregon. Specialized has issued a Stop Ride notice for all models of its Turbo Como SL e-bike. The company is currently working with the CPSC to develop and implement a plan for the affected units. A recall from motor manufacturer Hyena E-Bike Systems affects nearly 20,000 Trek and Electra e-bikes."
Specialized issued a Stop Ride notice for all Turbo Como SL 4.0 and 5.0 models after noting that the fork steerer tube may develop a small fatigue crack that could lead to progressive fork failure and a fall hazard. Specialized is working with the CPSC to develop and implement a plan and expects a solution in the coming weeks. Motor manufacturer Hyena E-Bike Systems recalled nearly 20,000 Trek and Electra e-bikes (FX+ 1 and Townie Go!) and owners of affected models should stop using their bikes due to a potential fall hazard. Oregon HB4007 would expand e-bike education for young riders, create a legal class of micromobility devices, and prohibit selling unsafe batteries and high-powered e-motos marketed as e-bikes.
