Electric scooter with battery charger

Risk Description

The product poses a risk of: 1. Electric shock since: - the mains cable is not fixed in the printed circuit independently from soldering, - the live conductors may come into contact with low voltage parts or opposite pole, - the socket applied at the output part of the battery charger is similar to the ones used at connections of other appliances, thus the plug under the seat can easily be connected to mains supply (230 V). 2. Explosion and fire since: - the batteries can be directly connected to the mains supply (230 V) through the plug placed under the seat and the battery unit; - there are no diaphragms applied at soldering, therefore the conductors may cause defects in the regulatory circuit, - the batteries cannot be fixed properly in the battery space, their cables may be damaged and they can detach from terminals which could cause a short circuit. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 60335.
