Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Aug 6, 2025, sent to the company Aug 8, 2025, published by CPSC Aug 22, 2025
The product, in the report: The product is a Q 20 Lite, 1000 watt electric moped sold online as an e-bike.
My son was riding a Ridstar Q20 Lite bike and the front wheel fell off. The wheel was installed per the instructions and follow up instructional video, which I believe to be incorrect because the wheel retainer is not put into the axle in the instructions.
Update 8/7/2025: I’d like to add to the subject report that my son received 4 stitches for a laceration received when his face skid across the pavement after the front wheel fell off of his Ridstar Q20 lite while traveling approximately 15 mph.
The instructions to assemble the front wheel of the bike aren’t just unclear. I think they’re actually wrong.
I’m an engineer with a professional engineering license. In my professional opinion, I believe there is a high likelihood that a child will die when the front wheel comes off of a bike traveling at close to top speed. It will happen despite the fact that their parents installed the front wheel in accordance with the instructions.
