11 E-Bike Fires - And the Manufacturer Refuses a Recall + Super73’s New A-Series | TWR Ep 105
This week on The Weekly Recharge, the CPSC is warning owners of Ridstar Q20 and Q20 Pro e-bikes to stop riding after 11 reported fire incidents — while the manufacturer has refused to agree to an acceptable recall.
We also look at Super73’s all-new A-Series lineup, including three new moto-style e-bikes with different sizes, optional dual batteries, added storage, and upgraded Special Edition models. Plus, Specialized is recalling thousands of Turbo Como SL e-bikes over a potential steerer tube failure.
And this episode is a little different: after more than five years with Electric Bike Report and contributing to hundreds of videos, Griffin is signing off from The Weekly Recharge one last time.
Plus, we talk bike security, answer your questions, highlight the people helping build better local bike infrastructure, and cover this week’s e-bike deals.

New York May Ban Class 3 E-Bikes + EU Targets Illegal E-Bikes | TWR 104
This week on The Weekly Recharge, New York City is considering new legislation that could ban the sale, rental, and eventually the use of Class 3 e-bikes.
We also look at new proposals in Europe targeting illegal e-bike tampering kits, Giant and Liv’s new eMTBs with traction control, and an Urban Arrow cargo e-bike recall.
Plus, we check out Monarch’s new smart helmet, rear radar, and tire pressure monitoring accessories, answer your e-bike questions, talk trails, and run through this week’s best deals.
Let us know in the comments: do you think Class 3 e-bikes should remain legal in New York City?
