Huffy Corporation on Thursday recalled about 286 Buzz Bicycles Cerana T2 e-trikes because the rear wheels can detach, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The agency said the tricycle’s back wheels might detach or loosen from the frame, creating a fall risk that could cause serious injuries. Huffy has received 12 reports of the rear wheels loosening or separating, resulting in three injuries involving shoulder and wrist sprains, leg bruising and abrasions, the CPSC said.
The recall notice urges owners to immediately halt use of the tricycles and reach out to Huffy to get replacement rear axle assemblies at no cost. The company will send the parts directly to consumers or to a third party to repair the tricycle. Huffy will reimburse consumers up to $100 for charges incurred by a third-party repair.
The recalled tricycles, model E4004, are gray with “BUZZ” logos on the sides. The pedal-assist tricycles feature a 500-watt motor, a 48-volt battery and a trio of 24-inch wheels. A tag located by the pedals displays the model number.
The e-trikes were manufactured in China and imported by Miamisburg, Ohio-based Huffy. They were sold at independent bike shops nationwide and online at buzzbicycles.com from November 2024 through July 2026 for between $1,400 and $2,500.
