What is the hazard with FREESKY Electric Bicycle 540E (2609-0013)?

FREESKY Electric Bicycle 540E (2609-0013) (FREESKY) was announced earlier this year, in the "Hobby/sports equipment – Cycles (Powered)" category. There is no evidence that the product has been assessed using relevant UK conformity assessment procedures as a valid Declaration of Conformity was not supplied. In the absence of evidence to demonstrate the conformity of the product, it may be possible for it to overheat and catch fire. Improvements are also required to the product and charger labelling. This product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.

What should you do if you own this product?

The import has been rejected at the border. Contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below for the exact remedy steps.
