West Marine Recalled 4,600 Folding Bicycles Because Their Frames Can Break During Use

West Marine recalled about 4,600 folding bicycles because their frames can break during use.

This recall involves the Jetty Express 2 and the Port Runner 2 models, which are designed for use in and around docks and marinas. The Jetty Express 2 has a blue and white frame and folds at a hinge in the middle. Jetty Express 2 is printed on the bike’s frame.  The Port Runner 2 has a red frame and folds at a hinge in the middle. Port Runner 2 is printed on the bike’s frame.

  West Marine has received three reports of the bicycle’s frame breaking, resulting in bruises and scrapes to a rider. The retailer is advising consumers to immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and return them to one of its stores for a free replacement folding bicycle.
