QuoteUnder House Bill 243, any e-bike capable of traveling more than 28 miles per hour or equipped with a motor of 750 watts or more would be reclassified as an "electric motorcycle."

That means those bikes would need to be registered, and riders would be required to have a driver's license — and stay off sidewalks and bike lanes.

The bill also takes aim at people who modify their e-bikes to make them faster than the manufacturer intended — a trend police say has become increasingly common.

Motorcycle Talk / Immediately Stop Using MOEYURO...
Last post by Biketographer - November 01, 2025, 12:51:14 PM
Name of Product:
MOEYURO youth electric ATVs
Hazard:

The ATVs violate the mandatory standard for youth ATVs, including failing to meet mechanical suspension requirements, posing a crash hazard.
Consumer Action:

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the youth ATVs immediately. Do not sell or give away these hazardous youth ATVs.
Product Safety Warning Date:
October 23, 2025
Units:

About 280

Description:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using MOEYURO youth electric ATVs. The ATVs violate the mandatory standard for youth ATVs, including failing to meet mechanical suspension requirements, posing a crash hazard. The parking brakes fail to hold, posing a collision hazard. The handlebars pose a laceration hazard if the child rider's body or head impacts the handlebars at a high rate of speed. The youth ATVs are also missing all required safety reflectors, reducing visibility of the youth ATV to other vehicles.

Additionally, the youth ATVs lack a mandated CPSC-approved ATV action plan, which is required for any manufacturer or distributor to manufacture, import, sell, or distribute any newly assembled or unassembled ATV in the United States. ATV action plans are required to ensure that the industry promotes ATV safety, including rider training, dissemination of safety information, age recommendations and other safety measures.

CPSC's latest data show that Off Highway Vehicles (OHVs), including ATVs, are associated with an annual average of more than 800 deaths and an estimated 100,000 emergency department-treated injuries. (Learn more about OHV safety here: OHV & ATV Safety | CPSC.gov).

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to Zengxuebo, of China, doing business as online seller ZeTachenUS. The seller has not agreed to recall these youth ATVs or offer a remedy to consumers.

About 280 ATVs were sold on Amazon from May 2025 through September 2025 for between $496 and $620. The ATVs may have been sold by various third-party sellers and on other websites.

The youth ATVs were sold with a 36V, 500W electric motor and advertised for kids ages 5+. The youth ATVs are 29.5"L x 26"W x 40.5"H, come in black, blue spider, ice-fire, and red, and have handlebar covers with white spots. There is no labeling or branding on the product.

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the youth ATVs immediately. Do not sell or give away these hazardous youth ATVs.

Report any incidents involving injury or product defect to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.

Motorcycle Talk / Scepter Fuel Containers Recall...
Last post by Biketographer - November 01, 2025, 12:47:57 PM
Name of Product:
Scepter Gas and Oil Combination Fuel Containers
Hazard:

The recalled fuel containers violate the mandatory safety standards for portable fuel containers because they lack flame mitigation devices required under the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act, posing a deadly risk of flash fire. In addition, the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act requires all closures on portable gasoline fuel containers to be child resistant. The spout on the products is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
Remedy:
Refund
Recall Date:
October 23, 2025
Units:

About 1,500

Description:

This recall involves Scepter B62 gas and oil fuel containers. The recalled combination fuel containers are red with black caps and yellow spouts on each end. They have dual chambers with a 6-liter gas capacity on one side and 2.5-liter oil capacity on the other. "Scepter" and "Gasoline Danger" are embossed on the side of the container and a Fire Marshall stamp is on the front-left-side of the gas tank, near the fuel spout.
Remedy:

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fuel containers, place them out of reach of children and contact Canada Prep and Ship for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write "Recalled" with permanent marker on the container and submit a photo of it in the trash to info@canadaprepandship.com.

Motorcycle Talk / CARDO SYSTEMS MOTORCYCLE HELM...
Last post by Biketographer - October 30, 2025, 11:04:22 AM
PLANO, Texas, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardo Systems, the leader in wireless communication solutions for powersports riders, proudly introduces BEYOND GTS and BEYOND GT, the brand's first-ever fully integrated sport-touring motorcycle helmets. The BEYOND line of helmets deliver the convergence of two decades of innovation in rider connectivity and four years of advanced R&D, focused on creating the most advanced integrated helmet on the market. More than just a helmet, Cardo BEYOND delivers a new-generation riding companion engineered to protect, connect and elevate every ride.

Among its many innovations, BEYOND debuts the world's first 53mm helmet speakers, precision tuned by Cardo Sound Labs for unmatched clarity and power. An Active Noise Cancellation system purpose-built for motorcyclists to combat fatigue and hearing loss is another global breakthrough. The introduction of the first-ever helmet health indicator continuously monitors and reports on the helmet's condition, giving riders real-time insight into the integrity of their gear. BEYOND continues to set industry firsts with features never before seen in a helmet– upgradable tech modules, a detachable battery with wireless charging, automatic on/off functionality, and a customizable button, to name but a few.

"After 20 years at the forefront of rider communication, this is, without a doubt, a breakthrough moment for Cardo Systems," said Alon Lumbroso, Chief Executive Officer at Cardo. "We've always believed technology should enhance the ride without distracting from it, and that's exactly what we've achieved with this helmet. It's not just about adding features. It's about integrating them in a way that is seamless and feels natural, intuitive, and purpose-built for motorcyclists."

Designed from the ground up, BEYOND GTS features a lightweight carbon fiber shell paired with a multi-density EPS liner, a combination that delivers high-impact protection without compromising on weight or long-ride comfort. Riders will also notice a big difference in airflow and stability because of extensive wind-tunnel-tested aerodynamics and a precision ventilation system that reduces fatigue and keeps visibility clear in any weather.

Where traditional helmets stop at passive protection, BEYOND GTS advances into intelligent safety. Features like the Emergency Release System and full multi-regional homologation (DOT and ECE 22.06 certified) ensure global compliance and rider peace of mind. Integrated Crash Detection alerts others in real-time during potential impacts, while a wide field of view, enhanced by the world's first Pinlock® 200 anti-fog lens to drastically reduce face shield fogging, improves forward visibility. An Active Brake Light increases visibility from behind.

At its core, BEYOND GTS includes a powerful communications suite with a 2km intercom range, Bluetooth integration, and hands-free voice control, ensuring riders can stay in touch, navigate, or control their music without ever taking their hands off the bars.

Additional rider-centric enhancements are seamlessly integrated throughout the helmet. A retractable sun visor allows for smooth transitions between lighting conditions without the need to swap visors. Auto On/Off functionality conserves battery life by powering down when not in use. A replaceable battery and serviceable components ensure long-term durability, while an upgradeable tech package allows the helmet to evolve with future advancements. Inside, moisture-wicking premium fabrics keep the rider cool and comfortable, ride after ride.

To complement the top-of-the-line BEYOND GTS model, Cardo also unveiled BEYOND GT, a streamlined version that maintains the same core values of safety, performance, and connectivity, while offering riders an accessible, feature-rich alternative. Constructed with a lightweight fiberglass shell and equipped with a rear reflector for enhanced visibility, BEYOND GT retains compatibility with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology and offers a powerful 1000mA battery. While it forgoes wireless charging, it includes a Pinlock® 120XLT® anti-fog lens to dramatically reduce fogging and is finished with GT comfort padding for long-lasting rideability. It's a smart choice for riders who want the full experience of integrated safety and communication without compromise.

From everyday commutes to open-road adventures, BEYOND GTS and BEYOND GT are built to do it all, with style, intelligence, and uncompromising performance.

The BEYOND GTS and GT will be available in summer 2026 with a MSRP for the GTS of $1199.00/€1199.00 and the GT at $949.00/€949.00. Learn more at cardobeyond.com.
