Recall alert: 32K e-bikes recalled; guard doesn’t cover belt drive – WFTV

More than 32,400 e-bikes have been recalled because the chain or belt guard does not cover the drive, allowing clothing to become tangled in the belt.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recall affects Specialized Vado and Como IGH E-Bikes with chain guards.

The following bikes are part of the recall:

They have an internal gear hub, or IGH, and no real derailleur (gear shift).

They came in several colors: black, limestone, red, sand, sea foam, navy, purple, white, gray, raspberry, umber, dark gray and yellow.

You can find the Specialized Bike brand name on the frame and the model numbers can be found on the serial number sticker under the top tube.

The bikes were sold by authorized Specialized Bicycle retailers nationwide and online from March 2021 to November 2024 for between $3,250 and $5,750.

If you have the recalled e-bikes you should not ride them and contact the nearest authorized retailer for a new, free chain/belt guard.
