No one hurt Made Oct 23, 2014, sent to the company Nov 4, 2014, published by CPSC Dec 1, 2014
The product, in the report: An electric assisted bicycle operating at 36v with a rear hub motor.
A Volton electric bicycle had randomly-dangerous acceleration problems;
1) while holding the bike from a complete stop; the bicycle rips out of ones hands 2) while riding the bike randomly accelerated from low speed up to 20mph unexpectedly 3) while waiting at stop at a traffic intersection, the bicycle randomly accelerated without notice
These are the types of accelerations that could cause serious or fatal injury.
I just became aware that you are the regulatory agency for this product. Record needs to be made of this incident.
------ Original message ------ To the company by Email From: Date: 9/9/2014 9:41 AM To: volton; Subject:Severe Safety Issue and Concern, too dangerous to ride.
[REDACTED]
Today I had several instances in traffic which were highly dangerous both relating to random-maximum accelerations without the throttle during a coast or from an at stop position. I walked the bicycle home because it has computer-electrical concerns and is unsafe to ride.
These accelerations required me to emergency brake but could have easily resulted in a major accident whereby;
1) The bike would accelerate from stop into traffic 2) The bike would accelerate from a controlled speed to an uncontrolled maximum speed randomly and without notice Neither of these cases pertained to a pedal assist as the bike engaged itself at maximum power for an extended time even when the throttle was in the off position, with the pedals being stationary.
I would suggest that you notify your insurance carrier and supplier of the aforementioned issues and concerns, and you need to determine whether or not these issues are pervasive. I am departing Florida the 12th and therefore we need to arrange a return of this device.
