Regarding the CE mark, China has copied it and if the C and E are very close to
each other, the product is not marked as complying with the European
legislation but it is simply a Chinese scam. (Chinese Engineered?)
The European CE mark has the C and E much further apart with a specified gap.

It's happening again: A group of high profile celebrities are flocking to a
new electronic transportation gadget, but this is no hoverboard ... if you
can't use the Scoot-E-Bike in the rain, it seems more appropriate to frame
it more in the way we greeted hoverboards — low power, limited range, and
don't ever get the thing wet ...
We checked with UL, the electronics safety testing lab that introduced a new
safety testing certification in response to the burning hoverboards of the
past few months. Not surprisingly, a UL representative confirmed that, as of
April 1, no device called the Scoot-E-Bike appeared in the UL's database.
However, in the Scoot-E-Bike's promotional video [
https://youtu.be/9YLLPESTfjM
], the device's charger is prominently shown bearing the widely known "CE"
mark. But as we've learned, that mark is no guarantee of safety.
But even the European Commission's own website states that "a CE marking
does not indicate that a product have been approved as safe by the EU or by
another authority."
So third-party testing by U.S. government-endorsed organizations like UL can
be important, a lesson learned by a number of hoverboard owners whose
devices were not UL-certified ...
