In this relatively light e-bike news week, we have a few ups and downs to highlight. Our main stories include a helmet recall, a dive into August’s import data, and layoffs at an iconic cycling company.
The helmet recall affects roughly 24,000 kids helmets made by Outdoor Master. While no injuries have been reported, the company and
the CPSC announced a joint recall due the helmets not meeting federal standards.
The U.S. Census released the latest round of import data from the month of August, showing a continuation of July’s increase in Chinese bike imports. By the end of August, however, Cambodia had surpassed China as the largest YTD source (by value) of imported bikes.
