Hurt, care not known Made Oct 5, 2023, sent to the company Nov 17, 2023, published by CPSC Dec 14, 2023
The product, in the report: 3-wheel Trike
Caller stated that the bike while in use flipped and threw him to the pavement in the middle of the road. He stated that he fell on his face received minor bruises, fortunately no vehicles were coming. He stated that he hit the brakes, and it locked up causing the incident. No medical attention was received. The manufacturer was contacted, and the seller contacted him informing him that they never had a problem with the bike before. He stated that he took it to a bike shop for repairs.
Caller feels that this bike poses a safety hazard and should be reported.
(11/15/2023) Shortly after submitting my initial report to you, I called the manufacturer of the bicycle, ICE, located in England. I spoke to [REDACTED], a knowledgeable representative of the company. He apologized for the accident and shared that there is a history the bike flipping when the brakes are applied suddenly. He suggested that I practice “stopping slowly” in a parking lot to develop good muscle memory for this skill. Seriously, sudden stops are a way of life for a bicyclist. There are so many times it is necessary to stop suddenly including cars, pedestrians, dogs ect. This is a ridiculous concept.
I’ve ridden bikes for over 40 years recreationally and while training for triathlons and haven’t had an incident like this. I know on a traditional bike to use the back brake for emergency stops but on this bike there is no back brake. When I talked to the dealer that sold me the bike about the accident he told me to have the bike modified to use the back brakes. When I called the manufacturer they told me that doing that would result in the bike rolling over sideways and under no circumstances should I do that. They said the only way to avoid flipping the bike was slow braking.
It took several weeks to get up the nerve to ride the bike again. I’m unsure now if I want to keep my ~$6000 bike. I feel like there should be a warning on the bike at a minimum and ideally a redesign of the brakes to minimize or eliminate the possibility of this happening again.
The manufacturer said they would get in touch with me after I contacted them. This has not happened. That’s ok. I just want to know that someone is looking into this safety issue. It was not pleasant landing on my face and I want to be sure that this doesn’t happen to others in the future.
Thank you for all the important work that your agency does. [REDACTED]
