The recall applies specifically to F7 Pro e-bikes with batteries labeled as having a 21.5Ah capacity and a production date of April 21, 2024. The brand name “FENGQS” and model number are visible on the bike frame, and consumers are advised to stop using them immediately. To receive a full refund, owners must write specific recall information on the battery, take a photo for verification, and dispose of the battery properly under local hazardous waste guidelines.
So far, FENGQS has received 13 reports of these e-bikes igniting, including two incidents that caused fires and an estimated $4,000 in property damage. Although the recall only affects a small number of units, the fire risk poses a potentially serious threat for consumers nationwide.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Consumers should not discard the battery in standard trash or recycling bins due to the elevated fire risk. Instead, they are encouraged to contact their local hazardous waste collection center to ensure safe disposal. Customers seeking refunds must submit photos to the company at recall@fengqs.work and confirm the battery’s disposal method. Additional details and instructions are available on the company’s recall page.
