The recall involves two models — the Jetty Express 2 and the Port Runner 2. The Jetty Express 2 has a blue and white frame and folds at a hinge in the middle. Jetty Express 2 is printed on the bike's frame. The Port Runner 2 has a red frame and folds at a hinge in the middle. Port Runner 2 is printed on the bike's frame. The bikes were made in China and sold from March 2010 through July 2013 for between $300 and $400.
