Unsafe Practices
We do not knowingly supply parts to Individuals or Moped Clubs enagaging in unsafe practices. We may at our discretion refuse to supply anyone individual or group.
Our aim is to supply parts for restoring classic vehicles. We have been made aware of horror stories with Customers telling us of moped engines ruined by unsafe modifications and even machines with bent frames knowingly sold. To us the risk is too great and it is our right to refuse to do anything we feel uncomfortable with. Even the professionals can get it wrong for example Robert Dunlop was killed on a bike in 2009 that was suspected to have had a seized engine.
The Department of Transport advice regarding 70cc kits is:
I draw your attention to Regulation 100 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 as amended. This regulation states the following: No motor vehicle (or trailer) shall be used for any purpose for which it is so unsuitable as to cause or be likely to cause danger or nuisance to any person in or on the vehicle (or trailer) or on a road. This regulation means that you will need to ensure that if you sell these kits, that they are not unsuitable for the purpose the vehicle was made for, and not likely to endanger the user of the vehicle.
