Puig’s ERS kit includes essential components like an electric motor, connectors, and wiring for a seamless installation. Additionally, a small spoiler is part of the kit to close gaps when the windscreen is in its highest position. This accessory provides a convenient solution for riders who switch between city and highway riding, where wind protection preferences differ.
