- Hazard

This may result in the bicycle coming to sudden stop, potentially resulting in a falling hazard or injury.
- The products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 (pedal cycle), or the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 (e-bike).
- Corrective action
