Giant Bicycle has voluntarily recalled roughly 6,200 of its Momentum Vida E+ E-Bikes in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall notes that the fork steerer tube on the bikes could crack, break or separate during use, posing a fall hazard.
Giant Bicycles has received four reports of broken fork steerer tubes, with no reported injuries.
The bikes were sold at authorized Giant Bicycle dealers nationwide and online at momentum.com/us from September 2019 through May 2025 for between $2,500 and $3,200.
The recalled bikes come in metallic red, pearl white, metallic navy blue, metallic green, indigo blue, happy mint (light green) and panther (black). Giant sold the bike in two frame configurations (mid-step and low-step), and both configurations come in small, medium and large sizes. The serial number for each bike is stamped into the frame on the outer side of the left rear dropout and on a printed sticker under the bike’s downtube.
“Momentum” is written on the downtube of the bicycle, and “Vida E+” is written on the top tube.
The company is asking consumers to examine the third character of the bike’s serial number to determine if the model they purchased is included in the recall. Bikes with a serial number in which the third character is “H”, “J” or “K“ are included in the recall and must have their forks replaced free of charge. Bikes with a serial number in which the third character is “G“ require additional visual inspection by an authorized Giant Bicycle dealer to determine fork status.
Those impacted can call Giant Bicycle at 866.458.2555 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, email at recall@giantbicycle.com or visit momentum-biking.com/us/recall-information, giant-bicycles.com/us/recall-information, liv-cycling.com/us/recall-info, or giant-bicycles.com/us and click on “Recalls“ for more information.
