On Monday, May 25, 2026, my 14-year-old son was riding the Eskute RT-X 6500W electric motorcycle when two independent safety systems failed simultaneously, causing him to crash and sustain injuries.Product information: The product is the Eskute RT-X 6500W Electric Dirt Bike, manufactured by Eskute, purchased on Amazon.com. The bike has a 72V 30Ah battery, 6500 watt peak motor, 53 plus mph top speed, and is marketed to riders 5 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 7 inches tall.Who was using the product: My 14-year-old son, who is 6 feet 1 inch tall and 155 pounds, within the manufacturers stated rider specifications. He was wearing a helmet and protective equipment.How the product was being used: The bike was being used as intended for off-road riding under normal conditions. The bike was stock and unmodified, operating normally up to the moment of failure.Failure mode 1, Throttle stuck wide open: The throttle stuck in the wide-open or full power position with no rider input maintaining it. Releasing the throttle did not return it to the closed or off position. Power continued to be delivered to the motor without rider input.Failure mode 2, Brake-actuated throttle cutoff failed: The Eskute RT-X is equipped with brake levers designed to trigger an automatic throttle cutoff when brakes are applied, a standard safety feature on this class of electric motorcycle. My son applied the brakes in response to the stuck throttle. The throttle cutoff did not engage. Power continued to the motor despite brake application.Injuries: Unable to slow the bike, my son chose to lay it down to stop it, pinning the bike beneath his body during the crash. He sustained cuts and abrasions to his hand where his fingers were pinched between the brake lever and handlebar. He did not strike his head and was wearing a helmet. Injuries were treated at home with cleaning, antibiotic ointment, and bandaging. He has been monitored for 24 plus hours with no complications. Injuries are stable and improving.Concerns: Both primary safety systems failed simultaneously with no warning. This represents a serious safety defect with potential to injure or kill other riders, particularly young riders who may not have the experience to make split-second crash-avoidance decisions when controls fail. The simultaneous failure of throttle return and brake-actuated cutoff on a 6500 watt, 53 plus mph vehicle is a foreseeable injury or fatality risk that warrants investigation.Actions taken: Battery has been removed from the bike and stored separately. The bike has been preserved as-is with no further use, modification, or attempted repair. Photographs have been taken of the bike, throttle assembly, brake levers, crash damage, and injuries. The manufacturer Eskute has been notified by email at support.us@eskute.com on May 25, 2026. An A-to-z Guarantee claim has been filed with Amazon under order number [REDACTED].
