2026-05-07 – A serious fall hazard incident involving an AMYET eBike has been reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) SaferProducts.gov database. The incident, which resulted in emergency department treatment, involved a front wheel detachment during braking. The manufacturer, SHENZHEN YIBAIJIA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD dba AMYET, faces scrutiny over its handling of pre-incident safety complaints. Product DetailsBrand Name: AMYET Incident OverviewAccording to the incident report filed on March 31, 2026, a consumer purchased an AMYET eBike from Walmart on November 28, 2025. The eBike was first used in late February 2026. Shortly after use began, the consumer reported multiple issues to the manufacturer, including battery failure (draining within approximately one mile) and brake malfunction (loud noise and reduced stopping performance). Despite repeated reports throughout March 2026, the manufacturer asked the consumer to troubleshoot the issues themselves and sent an incorrect replacement battery, which did not resolve the problems. On March 31, 2026, the consumer's son was riding the eBike and applying the brakes when the front wheel detached completely, causing a severe fall with direct facial impact. The child was taken to the emergency room and sustained serious injuries, including severe facial abrasions, shoulder injury, and hand injuries. The consumer reported ongoing emotional trauma and missed school due to recovery. Following the incident, the manufacturer attributed the failure to parental responsibility, citing a warning that the eBike should not be operated by individuals under 16 years of age, rather than addressing the mechanical failure itself. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: Front wheel detachment during braking can cause the rider to be thrown forward, leading to severe facial, shoulder, and hand injuries from impact with the ground. The loss of steering control also increases the risk of collision with obstacles or vehicles. Long-Term Risks: Riders who survive such falls may suffer chronic pain, reduced mobility in the shoulder or hand, and psychological trauma including fear of cycling. Medical expenses and missed school or work can compound the impact. Who Might Be Affected: The primary rider is at highest risk, but bystanders or nearby traffic could also be endangered if the eBike veers uncontrollably. Children and inexperienced riders may be particularly vulnerable due to lack of protective reflexes. Warning Signs: Prior to the incident, the consumer reported brake noise and reduced stopping performance, which may indicate loose or failing components. Battery failure and incorrect replacement parts suggest broader quality control issues that could precede mechanical detachment. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Cease use of the AMYET eBike until a professional inspection confirms the front wheel and braking system are safe. Do not ride the eBike under any circumstances. Do Not Attempt Repairs: Do not try to fix the wheel attachment or brakes yourself, as improper repairs may worsen the defect or void any potential claims. Preserve the Product: Keep the eBike in its current condition, including all components and any packaging. Do not discard the product, as it may be needed for investigation by the CPSC or legal review. Document the Incident: Take photographs of the detached wheel, the eBike, and any visible damage. Save all correspondence with the manufacturer, including emails and records of phone calls. Retain medical records and receipts for expenses. Seek Medical Attention: If you or a family member experienced a similar incident, obtain a thorough medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, as some effects may appear later. Report to the CPSC: File a report on SaferProducts.gov (Report ID: 6007015) and check for any recalls at CPSC.gov. Your report can help prevent future injuries. Consumers who suffered injury or property damage due to this product may wish to speak with a product liability attorney to understand their legal options.
