Danger:

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because:
- it is not equipped with a front-wheel braking system.
- the chain-guard does not completely cover the edge of the chain, meaning clothing could become entangled.
- the diameter of the handlebar ends is less than required, so the user's hands could slip off, reducing control.
The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 14765.
