Allegro M7 Sport Starsfly E-Bike safety warning

The Allegro M7 Sport – Starsfly e-bike (black/grey electric bike marked “starsfly” in red; charger Keyu KYLC165V55 B with plug FY006A) is affected. It was rejected at the UK border because the bike, battery and charger lack required conformity assessment, technical documentation, labelling and instructions, and the charger or battery may overheat and cause a fire; the bike was also not supplied with a battery so using a non‑compatible battery may overheat and cause a fire.
