Specialized Bikes has voluntarily recalled its Vado and Como IGH E-Bikes with Chain Guards in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The bike’s protective chain/belt guard does not cover the belt drive, and loose clothing could get entrapped in the belt drive, posing a fall hazard.
The recalled e-bikes, Recall #25-200, have an internal gear hub (IGH) and no rear derailleur (gear shift). The Specialized Bicycle brand name is on the bike frame. The company sold the bikes in black, limestone, red, sand, sea foam, navy, purple, white, gray, raspberry, umber, dark gray and yellow colorways.
The e-bikes have the following model numbers printed on the white and black serial number label found on the underside of the bicycle’s top tube.
Consumers should immediately stop using the Specialized Vado and Como IGH e-bikes and contact their nearest authorized Specialized retailer for a free installation of an updated protective chain/belt guard. Specialized Bicycle is contacting all known purchasers directly.
No incidents/injuries have been reported.
The bikes were sold at authorized Specialized Bicycle retailers nationwide and online from March 2021 through November 2024 for between $3,250 and $5,750.
Specialized Bicycle Components, Inc., of Morgan Hill, CA, imported the bikes. The company manufactured the equipment in Vietnam and Taiwan.
