A fault to repair

The electric scooter concerned is the REVOE Revolt R 36v-7.5Ah model.

A design flaw has indeed been spotted at the level of the steering tube, which "can break and cause the user to fall", indicates the opinion of the DGCCRF.

People who have bought this scooter are invited to stop using them and bring them back to the store.

Decathlon must repair defective models before ensuring the safety of those who have purchased the device.
