Here’s another example of a company using social media ads to sell untested, non-conforming motorcycle clothing to unsuspecting riders.
Ktvmoto1’s ads kept popping up in my feed. Other users were asking questions about the products — clear buying signals — but the company left them unanswered.
So I asked a simple one: can you provide the certificates to support your safety claims?
After repeated requests, Ktvmoto1 eventually said they would send images of the certificates — but only after I placed an order.
That’s an obvious red flag. Nobody should have to hand over money before seeing whether a product is genuinely certified.
When the company did send two “certificates”, they turned out to be misleading pieces of paper from organisations that have no legal authority to certify motorcycle clothing under EU or UK law. Meanwhile, their website displays what appear to be type-examination certificates from Ricotest, a well-known Italian notified body — but those appear to have been altered without authorisation.
I’ve informed the company.
I encounter many overseas sellers who don’t understand what’s required to legitimately call their products “CE certified”. Others understand perfectly well and simply don’t care. Which category Ktvmoto1 falls into is for you to judge — but you should avoid buying from either.
Please share. The more riders who know how this works, the safer we all are.
