Hazard

The braking effect of the front brake system is insufficient and the brake failure warning light improperly signals brake activation instead of failure. The vehicle can also start unexpectedly and drive without lights. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries.Moreover, battery connectors lack protection which can cause the user to receive an electric shock from accessible live parts. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
