SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260402-ABBF1-2147321070. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Product: Philodo Jumbo Dual Battery Dual Motor (E bike). Incident: CPSC Safety Report: Philodo Jumbo E-Bike Product Information: Brand: Philodo Model: Jumbo (Dual Battery/Dual Motor) Serial Number: [Insert Serial Number if you have it] Mileage at Failure: Less than 100 miles Description of the Hazard: The product suffers from a severe electrical malfunction involving "Unintended Acceleration" and a failure of the power-cutoff system.

Additionally, the front motor has experienced a catastrophic internal failure (Error Code 14), causing the hub to seize and preventing the bike from being moved in reverse.

I had physically switched the bike's display to the OFF position to ensure the motor would not engage. While my hands were near the drivetrain, the motor suddenly engaged.

This injury was a direct result of the product failing to kill power to the motor when the ignition/display was turned off.
