June 12, 2026 — A consumer has reported a dangerous incident involving the Tuttio Soleil 01, where the foot peg bolts unexpectedly sheared off the frame. This critical failure could lead to a rider’s foot dropping and potentially being run over, creating a high risk of serious injury.
Product Details
Incident Overview
On May 26, 2026, an incident was reported concerning a Tuttio Soleil 01 product purchased through Amazon. The consumer stated that the foot peg bolts, which secure the foot pegs to the product’s frame, sheared off completely. The report highlights the immediate and severe danger this poses: if a rider’s foot drops unexpectedly due to the detached foot peg while the product is in motion, there is a significant risk of the foot being caught under the wheels or parts of the product, potentially leading to it being run over. The specific circumstances leading to the bolts shearing off, such as the age of the product or its usage history, were not detailed in the incident report.
Safety Concerns
The shearing of foot peg bolts presents several critical safety concerns:
- Immediate Dangers: The primary immediate danger is the sudden loss of support for the rider’s foot. This can cause the foot to drop into the path of the product’s wheels or other moving parts, resulting in severe crush injuries, fractures, lacerations, or abrasions. Such an unexpected event could also cause the rider to lose balance, potentially leading to a fall or loss of control, increasing the risk of further injuries or accidents.
- Long-Term Risks: Injuries sustained from such an incident could require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and may result in long-term mobility issues, chronic pain, or permanent disability.
- Who Might Be Affected: Riders of the Tuttio Soleil 01 are directly at risk. The unexpected nature of the failure means any user, regardless of experience, could be affected.
- Property Damage Potential: While the immediate focus is on personal injury, a sudden loss of control or a crash resulting from this defect could also cause significant damage to the product itself, as well as to other property or vehicles if an accident occurs.
What Consumers Should Do
Given the serious safety risks identified, consumers who own a Tuttio Soleil 01 should take immediate action:
- Immediately Stop Using the Product: Do not operate the Tuttio Soleil 01 if you notice any looseness, damage, or signs of stress on the foot peg bolts or the foot peg assembly.
- Inspect Your Product: Carefully inspect the foot peg bolts and the area where they attach to the frame. Look for any cracks, deformities, corrosion, loose fasteners, or signs of wear that might indicate an impending failure. If you observe any issues, discontinue use immediately.
- Contact the Manufacturer: Reach out to TUTTIO SPORT directly to report your findings and inquire about potential remedies, repairs, or recalls.
- Report the Incident: Even if you have not been injured, it is crucial to report product defects and incidents to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. This helps authorities track incidents and potentially initiate investigations or recalls.
