The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently issued a recall for the Brompton electric folding bicycle due to a software glitch that can cause the bike's motor to remain active even when the passenger isn't actively peddling. Naturally, this can lead to any number of dangerous scenarios such as riders being whisked off into a busy intersection or simply falling off the bike itself.
The CPSC advises that anyone with an affected Brompton bike should get it repaired immediately via an authorized Brompton Electric dealer. The repair itself is rather simple and merely consists of a software update. Notably, no serious injuries involving the bike have been reported just yet. It's also worth noting that if the bike starts moving on its own, the brakes can still be applied.
