The product, in the report: ‘Mid tail’ cargo bike/child carrying bicycle.
I am a bicycle mechanic in Portland, OR. I was doing a repair on a Kinn bicycle (their Cascade Flyer model) and noticed a major and potentially fatal design flaw. There is a electrical contact point (I believe it would be called a carbon brush) on the inside of the head tube which hits the steerer tube on the fork right above the fork crown (meant as a ground for a taillight). On the bike I was working the contact has worn a 1/8” deep grove into the steerer tube on the fork. This part of the bike is the point with the highest amount of stress. Any damage there could case the steerer tube to separate from the fork. This would obviously cause a crash, which would be very dangerous to the rider. Also this bike was specifically designed to carry children on the back of it. Which makes this even more concerning. I definitely would recommend that anyone who has one of these bike discontinue riding them immediately and take it to a professional bicycle mechanic to have it looked at. The situation could be remedied by replacing the fork, if damaged, and removing the carbon brush from the inside of the head tube.
