I also need help with the stripped pedal. It has fallen off. I need to get this fixed soon. I use the bike every day.

You can get something called a "helicoil" to fix this. You drill out the hole to the size required (see the package for details) and insert the helicoil. When you insert the screw it expands and grips the walls of the hole. I hope this helps.

What did you end up doing about it? Our pedal has fallen off and it seems the hole is also stripped. I don't know how it stayed on to begin with. I guess somehow with repeated use the hole got bigger. Replacing the pedal will not fix the problem either.

All bicycles have a reverse thread on the left pedal to keep it from unscrewing during use. The stripped threads are probably from repeated attempts to put the pedal on wrong or using the wrong pedal. (right pedal on left) left tighty, right loosy

Sorry to hear that. However, I'm not the seller. I bought the same bike and its in great condition. No problems with the pedals.

As for packaging, mine looked like crap but the bike was fine. The pedals are regular pedals that you can get almost anywhere if you don't like them... Do make sure you look at the designation on the pedals and put them on the correct side or you will strip them out. You can always reject the shipment (if you are there to receive it) if the bike is haging out of it. Or Amazon is really good about refunds.

I had zero problems. May be a defective screw or it has been crossthreaded.

I installed on my 1976 Gibson SG and did not drill. I took off the old button & I may have even just used the new button and the old screw just for the back of the neck (can't remember). Try that first and if it doesn't work, use the new (Dunlop) screw for the back of the neck. The new screw/button was just fine for the tail end of the guitar. Always use a screw driver (the proper size so you don't strip the screw) and soap the screw threads (rub the screw threads on a bar of soap) and it goes in easy. Hope this works for you!

My machine does the same thing on the left wheel. It's due to the screw becoming loose. If you tighten it up..the noise will go away. If it returns, it'd more than likely a stripped screw. I am currently in the process of trying to repair mines :(

Odd. Mine fit snug and operated instantly, could be the wrong power supply for your application.Check again to make sure that you order the correct power supply for your needs. I ordered what wasrecommended for the pedal that I was buying.

I have same issue with right pedal.Just sent an email to customer Service.We will see..

That's strange. Does it have the pin in it? Sounds like it might be defective, or missing a small screw/pin. We don't have that issue. I would reach out to Hansgrohe directly.

Under the pedal, literally.. push in the 2 small round hinges, one on each side of the pedal piece. Also, check youtube, many videos addressing this issue. Great pedal, bad battery-placement design.

Year and a half late to answer, but it might still help someone else...Mine squeaked. Took forever to find the cause. Was the connection on the center pole below/between the pedals, where the front and rear section connect. I sprayed the heck out of it with wd40 and tightened the crap out the 2 or 3 bolts that connect that area. Problem solved. SOUNDED like it was coming from the joints on the handles, but it was not. The torque from usage is what makes it squeak.

Nope, it sounds like your pedal is faulty and needs to be replaced/fixed. Send it back.

I looked at mines again. (I have 2) This one you turn the purple part to the left till it clicks. Pull the bit out, insert the one you want to use and turn it to the right till it clicks. Sorry for the mixup.

It happened to me once. I tightened it really well and have not had that problem again. You can use this glue called Lock- tightened and apply it to the pedal bolt before screwing it back in.

I experience the same thing. The vendor recently contacted me after my rating on this site. They informed me that it would be replaced with a new one. Could be there might be some defective piece. Not sure, waiting for the replacement. Will repost new experience

Look if the manual of your bike or the crank arm specifies the size, or if the size might be stamped on the existing pedal.If DIY no documentation available: Measure the hole diameter on the crank arm (at the inner side, opposite to the pedal) or take one of the original pedals off your bike and measure the threaded part, you'll need a caliper for that. (That's how I did :-)Hint: Clerks at (small) hardware stores and of course bike shops or fellow experienced bikers also could help with that.
