Hazard

The efficiency of the brakes is too low, not allowing the bicycle to stop safely. That can lead to the loss of control over the bicycle, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. Moreover, cracks can appear on the handlebars, the frame, the front fork, the saddle and the seat post of the bicycle. If happening during its use, this can cause a person to fall and increase the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the requirements of the General Product Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 4210-2.
