Brompton recalls their e-bikes due to safety hazard

According to Brompton “in specific circumstances if an object of a certain size becomes trapped between the bike’s mudguard stay and tyre, it can result in the mudguard getting caught on the tyre, and the bike’s wheel rotation becoming inhibited or stopping suddenly.”
Only their e-bikes are affected, and only the ones that have not been part of a recent upgrade program (the Brompton Electric Upgrades Programme) that was carried out by Bromptom end of last year.
Customers getting the upgrade will have a new mudguard stay fitted, which increases clearance between the mudguard and tyre. Additionally, Brompton will fit a new battery catch that reduces the movement between the battery and the bike. This “minimises battery disconnections when riding over uneven surfaces, prolonging the life of the electronics and improving ride experience.”
Affected customers will be given a £20 credit, redeemable from their website brompton.com, “as a gesture of goodwill”.
