That shows the damage but an overall picture would help with a solution.

Ultimately, you may be able to bend it back, but it looks like it’s been overly bent and creased, making it structurally compromised. You’ll need to reinforce it once you get it straightened out otherwise it’s going to happen again.

Alternatively, you may be able to contact the manufacturer, Amazon, or eBay and see if that part is available as a replacement.

The bike had been taken apart to ensure access to the bend, for repair.

The bike is an Exerpeutic 400 XL or something like that.
