Latest Transpro Scooter Recall Updates

July 24, 2025: CPSC Announces Recall 25-405

The CPSC announced a Fast Track recall by Transpro of 700 Transpro electric scooters [1]. Transpro offers a refund or a free replacement scooter.

Which Transpro Scooters Are Affected?

The recall covers electric scooters in three models. Each is sold in black or gray:
  • Transpro A3 Hub Motor electric scooter
  • Transpro A11F Spark electric scooter
  • Transpro R1 Commuter electric scooter
The model name and number are on the bottom of the scooter deck. Check there first to see whether your scooter is included. Bike and electronics stores in the Northeast sold the scooters from August 2024 through April 2025. Prices ranged from $250 to $400.

Why Were Transpro Scooters Recalled?

The Transpro scooters were recalled because they were sold with unauthorized lithium-ion battery UL certification labels. The CPSC says the recalled scooters can overheat and ignite, which poses a fire hazard. The manufacturer notice gives the same reason. Its recall page says UL certification is not listed for the lithium batteries in these scooters [2]. That notice says Yongkang Duowei Industry and Trade Co. Ltd. made the scooters. The CPSC notice does not describe a cause beyond the unauthorized labels.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Transpro US Inc. received one report of a scooter catching fire. The fire caused at least $200,000 in property damage. No injuries have been reported. These figures are the company’s report to the CPSC, not court allegations. Anyone whose Transpro scooter overheats or catches fire can report it at SaferProducts.gov [3]. A report alone does not prove what caused a fire.

What Should Consumers Do?

Owners of the recalled scooters should take these steps now:
  1. Stop using and charging the scooter.
  2. Disable the scooter using the instructions on Transpro’s recall page.
  3. Contact Transpro for a full refund or a free replacement scooter. Call 888-616-0328 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or email sales@transprous.com.
  4. Submit the online claim form or email with evidence that you destroyed the scooter.
  5. Dispose of the entire scooter under local and state hazardous waste rules. Never put it in the trash, curbside recycling or retail battery recycling boxes.
  6. Call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have a problem with the remedy.
Someone hurt by a recalled Transpro scooter, or whose property was damaged, may speak with a product liability lawyer about a claim. A recall does not automatically establish who is responsible or who qualifies. Keep the disabled scooter, photos, receipts, claim forms and medical or repair records. They show what happened and when. Related battery fire claims appear on our lithium-ion battery explosion lawsuit page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Transpro Contacting Owners of Recalled Scooters Directly?

Yes, Transpro is contacting all known purchasers of the recalled scooters directly, according to the CPSC notice. Owners who have not heard from the company can still check the model name on the deck and use the recall page.

What Can I Do If Transpro Does Not Respond to My Remedy Request?

If Transpro does not respond to your remedy request, the CPSC offers a recall complaint form. It is meant for owners who have trouble with a recall remedy or believe a company is being non-responsive.

How Do I Dispose of a Recalled Transpro Scooter?

To dispose of a recalled Transpro scooter, call your household hazardous waste center before drop-off. Ask whether it takes recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, ask your municipality what to do with the scooter.

Where Were the Recalled Transpro Scooters Made?

The recalled Transpro scooters were made in China, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notice. The importer, Transpro US, is based in Paterson, New Jersey, and the scooters were sold in the Northeast.
