That syncing is only a temporary solution. In busy traffic that will fail one time.
This seems a serious design flaw to me. You should complain at the factory and ask for another bike IMO. And you can complain to the safety authorities in your country. All users of these bikes should be warned worldwide. Which bike is it?
