Hazard

If the user were to lose control of the scooter and fall, they could receive injuries. There is no evidence that the product has been assessed using relevant UK conformity assessment procedures as a valid Declaration of Conformity was not supplied. In the absence of evidence to demonstrate the conformity of the product, it may be possible for it to overheat and catch fire. Improvements are also required to the product and charger labelling. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
