What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with 36-volt lithium-ion batteries used with VIVI E-bikes?
36-volt lithium-ion batteries used with VIVI E-bikes (Guangzhou Plenty Bicycle Co., Ltd., of China) was announced in a previous recall cycle, in the "Other" category. The recalled lithium-ion batteries can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should immediately stop using e-bikes with the recalled lithium-ion batteries and contact VIVI to receive a free replacement battery and battery charger. Consumers must dispose of the recalled battery at a household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center or follow the instructions of their municipality and confirm that this was done by sending an email to vivirecall@163.com. Note: Do not throw the recalled lithium-ion battery in the trash, in the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal HHW collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to an HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it doesn't, contact your municipality for further guidance. Sold at: Bikes with the recalled batteries were sold online at amazon.com, walmart.com, ebay.com, viviebikes.com, wish.com, sears.com, wayfair.com and aliexpress.com from December 2020 through November 2023 for between $365 and $950.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
