Rad Power Bikes, once the dominant force in North America’s e-bike market, is facing escalating turmoil after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued an urgent warning, advising consumers to immediately stop using some of its batteries due to fire hazard and risk of serious injury or, even, death.
According to the CPSC, officials have documented 31 battery fires, including 12 incidents causing an estimated $734,500 in property damage. Some fires occurred while the bikes were idle or in storage.
