What’s the Problem?

On July 24, 2025, approximately 700 Transpro electric scooters (models A3 Hub Motor, A11F Spark, and R1 Commuter) were recalled by Transpro US Inc. These scooters were sold with unauthorized UL certification labels on their lithium‑ion batteries.

The batteries can overheat and ignite, posing serious risk of fire, burns, and death. One fire incident has already caused at least $200,000 in property damage. Although no injuries have been reported so far, we are investigating potential claims involving fire-related injury, burn trauma, or emotional distress.
