I want to share my recent experience with a catastrophic product failure involving my Jasion e-bike to raise awareness and encourage extra caution for anyone riding or considering these bikes.
The Incident & Structural Defect:
While riding, the steering tube and headset assembly completely separated from the frame without warning.(assembly only requires handlebar installation, this was a complete manufacturing error
The sudden loss of control resulted in a severe crash on the street, leaving the front wheel entirely detached from the body of the bike. Since the steering head tube had been poorly sealed to the frame, it was loosening slowly overtime until a total dislodge rendered my steering handles to be useless dead weight. I lost control hit the curb. Smashed my pelvis intothe frame before rolling several times. Had heavy clothing and no ɓroken bones.
Also this just happened to be on my way home at 3am, so traffic very seldom.. Had this been daytime I could have hit a car and suffered serious injuries or death

More Seller Response & Policy Issues:
Following the accident, the third-party seller attempted to bypass standard consumer protections by asking me to cancel my formal claim under false assurances.
Despite the dangerous structural defect, the seller provided an unpaid "Postage Required" return slip for an 80+ lb, dual-battery freight item—expecting me to cover hundreds of dollars in out-of-pocket shipping costs upfront.
They set a refund me in full but only if i canceled my open claims on the bike. Claimed it was impossible to do otherwise
Current Status:
The incident, photo evidence, and medical documentation are currently under formal investigation with Amazon’s A-to-z safety and claims team.
Please inspect your steering components, headset welds, and frame integrity regularly before riding high-speed e-bikes. Stay safe ordering i meant, or dont i guesss?
