Specialized recalls certain Globe e-bikes
Specialized Bicycles is recalling more than 11,000 of its Globe Haul ST and LT e-cargo bikes, citing an issue with the telescoping seat post on both models. Specialized and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on June 5. When the lower portion of the two-part telescoping post is fully extended, it can break. Specialized has received 13 reports of injuries.
Not all Globe Haul ST and LT models are affected. Specialized said owners can determine if their bike is subject to recall by removing and inspecting the post: if the lower section of the post has 15 height-adjust markings, it is NOT affected; if it has 13 height-adjust markings, it IS subject to recall. Owners of models subject to recall should stop riding the bikes and contact their local Specialized retailer to arrange a free repair. [Specialized]
