2026-02-17 – A consumer reported a fall hazard involving an XMOTO 50CC 2 stroke dirt bike manufactured by Zhejiang Zhenglong Sports Utensils Co., Ltd. The incident, filed with the CPSC SaferProducts database, involved a child falling when the front brake failed and parts detached during use. The report describes multiple safety issues indicating a manufacturing defect. Product DetailsBrand Name: XMOTO Incident OverviewOn January 11, 2026, a consumer reported to the CPSC that their son was injured while riding an XMOTO 50CC 2 stroke dirt bike. The bike had been purchased from an online seller who reportedly assembles and sells these bikes without proper business credentials. According to the report, the child rode the bike four times, and on each occasion, parts fell off or bolts and screws loosened due to improper tightening. The incident occurred when the child attempted to brake, but the front brake did not function, causing him to fall. The front brake caliper had detached from the bike. The consumer described the bike as "very unsafe" and expressed concern that other children could be hurt due to the seller's alleged carelessness. The report did not specify the retailer or the child's age. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: A non-functional front brake on a dirt bike can cause loss of control, leading to crashes, collisions, or falls. In this case, the brake caliper fell off entirely, eliminating stopping power and directly causing the child's fall. Such failures can result in serious injuries, especially for young riders. Long-Term Risks: Repeatedly riding a bike with loose bolts and screws increases the likelihood of sudden component detachment, which may cause accidents over time. Even if no injury occurs immediately, the cumulative effect of riding an unstable vehicle can create hazardous situations. Who Might Be Affected: Young riders, especially children, are most vulnerable because they may lack the experience to detect or react to mechanical failures. Bystanders near the bike could also be struck by flying parts or involved in a crash. Warning Signs: Visible loose bolts, rattling noises during operation, and inconsistent brake performance are clear indicators of potential failure. In this case, the consumer noted parts falling off and bolts rattling loose after each ride, signaling a systemic assembly issue. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Cease riding the XMOTO 50CC dirt bike until a thorough inspection and repair are completed. Continued use poses a serious fall risk. Do Not Attempt Repairs: Unless you are a qualified mechanic, do not attempt to fix the brakes or tighten components yourself. Improper repairs may worsen the defect or void any potential claims. Preserve the Product: Keep the dirt bike in its current condition, including all detached parts and any packaging. This evidence is critical for investigations and potential legal action. Document the Incident: Take photos of the bike, missing parts, and any injuries. Write down a detailed account of each ride and the events leading to the fall. Save receipts and communications with the seller. Seek Medical Attention: If you or your child suffered an injury, consult a healthcare provider even if it seems minor. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Report to the CPSC: File a report on SaferProducts.gov and check for recalls at CPSC.gov. Your report can help prevent future incidents.
