The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    My father was in an accident on Tuesday, Nov 30, 2021. He was riding a Liberty electric trike made by Electric Bike Technologies (https://www.libertytrike.com/). He was practicing using the trike in his senior residence parking lot. He was practicing a low speed U-turn and was thrown off the bike due the bike’s unstable design with high center a of mass and narrow track width. He hit his head on a parked car and fell to the ground with the bike on top of him. He was immediately paralyzed with a C4 spinal cord injury. He was hospitalized for weeks and died from his injuries on February 7, 2022.

One is a spreadsheet summary of the individuals, their injuries and their contact information titled CPSC Index (please email for electronic copy as this is meant to be viewed as a spreadsheet). Another document (LT Trike Accidents) was made from screenshots from the [REDACTED] page Liberty Trike operates ([REDACTED]) indicating the extent of injuries other consumers have suffered. Additionally, I am attaching a study conducted by a mechanical engineering consultant. Please contact the engineer directly with any questions regarding the research he conducted.
