Brompton Bicycle Recalls Foldable Electric Bicycles Due to Crash and Injury Hazards

Hazard

The mudguard is positioned too close to the front wheel which can cause the wheel to lock up leading to sudden deceleration of the bike if an object gets caught between the mudguard and front tire, posing crash and injury hazards to the rider.
