What is the danger

The use of this machine is dangerous because: - the engine drive chain and rear sprocket are insufficiently guarded; - the fuel is vented via the filler cap directly in front of the rider which has health, machine control and fire hazard implications; - there are three extremely sharp-pointed plastic parts on the fairing and windshield facing the rider; - the steering mechanism excessively fouls the engine’s coolant pipe; should this fail whilst the machine was being ridden, very hot water may be sprayed onto the rider; -when inverting the machine, an amount of fuel leaks from the vent; - there is no speed limiting device; - the handlebar levers are not ball ended and the outer handlebars are misaligned; - the engine stop has no additional action to reset and the throttle control does not self-close; - no user manual is supplied with the machine.
