Trek has recalled about 75,000 bicycles with coaster brakes and replacement rear wheels due to crash hazards, and has warned consumers to stop riding them immediately.
The coaster brakes can fail to engage, resulting in the rider losing control, which poses a crash hazard. No injuries have been reported so far.
This recall involves certain Trek and Electra-branded bicycle models with coaster brakes and replacement rear wheels. The bikes were sold in a variety of colors including red, flamingo pink, dark aquatic, Mulsanne blue, volt yellow, pink frosting, Miami green, lithium gray, viper red, purple abyss, buttercup, pixie blue and blue.
The recalled models were sold by Trek and Electra authorized retailers nationwide, in stores and online, as well as at Trek.com from August 2023 to September 2025. The prices were between $300 and $660 for the bikes and between $66 and $77 for the replacement wheels. The products were made in China.
