Better Health for All

The company's core products, electric bikes and scooters, have caused severe, widespread health damage, including 3 fatalities and 13 injuries linked to uncertified batteries.

Federal officials ordered a recall of all Fly 10 mopeds due to a flawed braking system that failed federal safety tests, requiring 8.23 feet more stopping distance than allowed and 16% worse wet weather deceleration than federal standards. The company falsely advertised its products as UL Certified, used fake safety certifications, and affixed false conformity claims to vehicles, demonstrating deliberate concealment of risks. The New York Department of Motor Vehicles also refused to register some models. The company's revenue decreased by 32% due to these lithium-battery accidents. Delivery workers, who constitute approximately 70% of the customer base, are forced to absorb the risks created by these defective products. The company failed to inform investors about ongoing safety investigations, leading to a class action lawsuit for false and misleading statements. The company's vehicles were linked to many fires, representing significant health-harming externalities. While the company promotes eco-friendly transportation and active lifestyles, these general benefits are overshadowed by the direct harm caused by its products.
