  2. No one hurt

    Made Mar 18, 2019, sent to the company Apr 2, 2019, published by CPSC Apr 16, 2019

    The product, in the report: A lightweight commuter bike inspired by the stylish European bike scene, the Loft features minimalist design but is built to handle the rigors of the streets. Standard Electra Loft 7D bicycle, non-powered. Incident involved the Electra Alloy rim brakes on the bicycle.

    I was riding my Electra Loft bicycle with my 1 year old son when the brakes failed. The brakes failed because the metal brake calipers (the U shaped device that holds the brake pads in place over the rims) snapped in half. This happened when the brake levers were squeezed, resulting in the metal calipers snapping in half and completely losing all stopping tension on the front brakes. The bicycle was purchased brand new from an authorized retailer and has less than 30 miles on it. Prior to this, the brakes have never been damaged or otherwise in contact with a hard surface. The brake calpiers snapped entirely as a result of the brake lever being pulled.
