2026-04-28 – A Volpam electric scooter, manufactured by Yongkang Moxi Technology Co., Ltd., suffered a catastrophic structural failure while in use, causing a fall that required first aid.

The full report is available at https://www.saferproducts.gov/PublicSearch/Detail?ReportId=5994094. Product DetailsBrand Name: Volpam Incident OverviewOn April 10, 2026, a consumer was riding a Volpam electric scooter downhill when the main stem suffered a catastrophic structural failure, causing the rider to fall and scrape both knees. The consumer reported that the scooter was being used as intended at the time of the incident. Upon close inspection after the fall, the consumer observed super glue on internal wiring, which the CPSC classified as a manufacturing defect. The report notes that the manufacturer is Yongkang Moxi Technology Co., Ltd. No model number was specified in the filing. The consumer sought first aid from a non-medical professional for the knee injuries. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: A sudden structural failure of the main stem while riding can cause the rider to lose control and fall, resulting in scrapes, bruises, fractures, or head injuries depending on speed and terrain. In this incident, the rider suffered knee abrasions requiring first aid. Long-Term Risks: If the manufacturing defect (including the use of super glue on internal wiring) is present in other units, continued use could lead to similar failures at any time, potentially causing more severe injuries from high-speed falls. Who Might Be Affected: The primary risk is to the rider, but bystanders or pedestrians could also be struck if the scooter veers unpredictably after a stem failure. Warning Signs: There may be no visible warning before a catastrophic stem failure. However, any unusual wobbling, creaking, or play in the stem or handlebars could indicate an impending failure and should prompt immediate inspection and discontinuation of use. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Cease use of the Volpam electric scooter until the safety of the unit can be verified. Do not ride it, even if it appears undamaged. Consumers who suffered injury or property damage from this product may wish to speak with a product liability attorney about their legal options.
