Decathlon bfold folding bike recall
Recent recall for these 2 folding bikes from Decathlon. They are fairly generic chinese low cost folding bikes that a large number have been failing at the hinge. Decathlon only rates them to 100kg total load including bike weight, fitted accessories, luggage etc so it can mean the maximum rider weight is less than 80kg and still they have a recall although its quite possible many owners of the bikes exceed those limits.

As its a fairly generic imported bike you may recognise the same bike under a different brand where you live or may even own one in which case you might want to check with the importer if there is a recall on it. I know its hard to spot identical bikes sometimes as many Chinese factories copy each other.
