Spain
Electric ORBEA OPTIMA electric bicycles (model years 2019 and 2020) from batch 19A are affected; identify them by a stamped batch code “19A” on the frame, on the lower part of the vertical tube below the barcode. They were recalled because welding can be insufficiently strong, causing the frame to break at the centre and potentially make the rider fall and be injured; the product does not comply with the Machinery Directive. The manufacturer has issued a voluntary consumer recall and warning, so owners should follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions.
