Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of injuries because it has an unfitted single action throttle, which allows the bike to operate as a motorbike up to a speed of 24.9km/h without pedalling. This could lead to the user travelling too fast and losing control, leading to injuries. The welds and joins on the product are also inadequate, and will quickly corrode and fail. The product was also supplied without an instruction manual.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
Corrective action
The import has been rejected at the border.
