Miami Electric Bike Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

Miami Electric Bike Lawsuit Overview

The Miami Electric Bike lawsuit centers on serious safety defects in Super73’s model year 2024 Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core electric bicycles.

The primary allegation involves a defective retaining pin in the e-bike’s disc brake calipers that can loosen and dislodge from the caliper assembly, resulting in complete brake failure.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the manufacturer has received 21 reports of loose retaining pins and/or related brake failures, with at least one confirmed injury reported.

This safety issue prompted a nationwide recall of these premium electric bicycles that were sold for between $2,300 and $2,500.

Miami Electric Bike Injuries & Side Effects

The defective brake systems in recalled Miami electric bikes pose serious safety hazards to riders, potentially causing a range of injuries.

• Crash Trauma: Sudden brake failure can cause riders to crash into vehicles, objects, or pedestrians, resulting in contusions, lacerations, fractures, and head injuries.
• High-Speed Accidents: With these e-bikes capable of reaching speeds up to 28 mph, brake failure at high speeds can lead to particularly severe accidents and traumatic injuries.
• Inability to Stop: Complete brake failure eliminates the rider’s ability to avoid hazards, potentially leading to collisions with moving vehicles or fixed objects.
• Falls and Ejections: Riders may be thrown from the bicycle when attempting emergency maneuvers to compensate for brake failure.
• Secondary Injuries: Additional injuries may occur from landing on pavement, colliding with obstacles, or being struck by other vehicles after the initial brake failure.
