On April 30, 2026, Acer America Corporation issued a recall for their AES015 Two-Wheeled Folding Electric Scooters. According to the recall, number 26-453, a loose screw can cause the front tube to fold down unexpectedly during use, which poses a risk of injury in case of falls. The recall affects approximately 510 units of the product.

The recall specifically involves the Acer AES015 two-wheeled folding electric scooters. The scooters are designed to allow users to fold the front tube down to the platform for both compact transport and storage. The affected scooters were sold in black with a green and white decal on the front tube and the sides of the platform; the wheels have a green circle around the rim. There is a label on the front tube of the scooter with model number AES015 on it.

The recalled Acer scooters were sold from June 2023 through February 2026 online at Acer.com, Amazon.com, and in-store at BrandMart for prices ranging between $245 and $700.

According to the recall, no incidents have been reported in the U.S., although there has been one incident that resulted in minor injuries internationally.

The company is urging affected consumers to stop using the affected folding electric scooters and contact the company for instructions on tightening the screw. They are also offering free repair tools for consumers who request them.
