E-bikes recalled due to fire, explosion, burn hazards; distributed by Ancheer

Ancheer is recalling about 22,000 e-bikes due to fire, explosion and burn hazards.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the lithium-ion batteries can ignite, explode or spark, posing fire, explosion and burn hazards to consumers.

This recall involves Ancheer e-bikes with model number AM001907. The model number can be found on the e-bike packaging and in the instruction manual but cannot be found on the bike itself. A water bottle shaped cylindrical battery distinguishes model AM001907 from other models. The bikes are black and have 26-inch wheels. “Ancheer” is printed on the downtube.

Consumers should stop using the recalled e-bikes immediately and contact Ancheer for a free replacement battery and battery mount.

Ancheer has received six reports of incidents involving fire, explosions, or sparks, including four reports of burn injuries.

The e-bikes were sold online at www.aliexpress.com, www.ancheer.shop, www.amazon.com, www.ebay.com, www.newegg.com, www.overstock.com, www.rakuten.com, www.sears.com, www.walmart.com and www.wish.com from January 2016 through June 2022 for between $280 and $930.
