The risk
The braking effect of the front braking system is insufficient, increasing the risk of an accident.The headlight is not mechanically fixed correctly, proper visibility is not ensured and there is a risk of blinding other road users.Moreover, the charger is not sufficiently resistant to shocks in the AC power cords, increasing the risk of fire.Furthermore, where there is a voltage of more than 60 V DC in the battery connectors, protection against direct contact with live parts is not provided, increasing the risk of electric shock. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
