The risk
Due to the poor quality of the handlebar welding, a separation of the inner and outer sections of the handlebar can occur. This could result in the loss of control over the motorcycle, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
