Hazard

The products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

This recall only applies to bicycles that have received a speed modification by BR E Bikes. If your bike has not been modified by BR E Bikes, it is not affected by the risk above and it is not included in this recall.
