Trek recalls more than 75,000 bikes due to brake defect, tells people to ‘immediately stop’ riding them
November 19, 2025
US bike manufacturer Trek has issued a recall of more than 75,000 bicycles, telling users to stop riding them due to an issue with the coaster brake.
The notice was published by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC) last week, and affects five bike models sold between 2024 and 2026: the children’s Precaliber 12, 16 and 20, as well as the Electra Townie Rental 1 Step Thru and Electra Sprocket 1 16”.
Users have been advised to “immediately stop” riding the recalled bikes and contact an authorised Trek or Electra dealer for a free repair – a new rear wheel. Cycling Weekly
