The product is not in compliance with the Machinery Directive and the relevant standards: -there are sharp edges all over the bike; -the chain guard is insufficient, posing a risk that the rider will come into contact with the chain; the material of the guard poses an additional risk of cutting the rider; -there is a danger that the rider’s hands will get trapped and a risk of the steering stop getting stuck, causing the bike to overturn and fall; -the end of the petrol pipe passes over the engine without any protection posing a risk of overheating, which may cause a fire; the pipe is non-standardised for carrying petrol, which means there is a danger that petrol will leak onto the hot areas; -the design of the brake calliper prevents the engine from functioning properly, as a result of which a touchable surface could reach temperatures of 200 °C within a few metres; -the levers have little mechanical resistance and the cables get stuck when the handlebars are turned; the steering column is weakened; -the materials have low mechanical resistance and the means of signalling are not long-lasting; - the noise level is excessive; -the warning information is incomplete and not given in Spanish, there is no Spanish instruction manual nor necessary markings.
