⚠️ Risk

- the fuel is vented via the fuel cap directly in front of the rider which has health, machine control and fire hazard implications;- the fuel pipe is insecure and fouling the rear suspension spring, which will lead to premature failure of the pipe and fuel leakage;- the drive chain and rear sprocket are insufficiently guarded; - given that the securing nuts and bolts, both at front and at the rear, are devoid of any locking device, insecurity of the nut in regard to its attachment bolt is almost inevitable due to usage and engine/machine vibrations; - the handlebar mounted engine stop does not have an additional action to re-set and there is no speed-limiting device.The product does not comply with British standard 7407.
