The risk
If the vehicles are used in snow without the continuously variable transmission (CVT) air intake having been relocated, the stock CVT air intake may become completely obstructed by snow. As a result, the drive belt could overheat, break into pieces and start a fire in the CVT enclosure. The product does not meet the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the type-approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
Product: Quadricycle modified with a track kit. Each vehicle has a unique serial number.
