    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    It does seem as Col has mentioned that this is simply the big manufacturers flexing their muscles, finding a way to drive out the competition, especially those who have battled for years to create the market the big producers are now enjoying. Maybe the volume end of the market is going to get...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    How is it we can buy ebikes to the same specs cheaper in Romania than I can in China? This has been the experience for all my colleagues, in all cases we are finding prices in Europe the same or less than in China. We are set to move by early next year in response to this latest round of...

    Hi Eddie, Thanks for your response. I've just had a quick chat with Jeremy, he says it's his style, what he is used to, he hasn't ridden professionally in anger for a good few years! He simply feels more comfortable using two finger braking. He does agree with you however that there is...

    In my pics or in general Eddie? I understand that the reason why many serious ebike riders use two fingers on the lever when braking is to keep more control on the handlebars, especially on a fast decent. Some use just one finger, but Jeremy thinks that's unnecessary, it does not give enough...

    No. You see Col an electric bicycle has a battery and a motor that assists the rider and cannot be ridden by anyone under the age of 14. They are actually a motor vehicle but have a special dispensation that enables riders under very strict conditions to be able to use them as if they were a...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Why call it anti dumping? Why not call it as it is "protectionism"? If we follow this to it's conclusion, lets all get rid of our cameras, drones, phones, computers, TV's etc all made in Asia. Lets put a fence up around the UK and not allow any products that are not made here into our little...

    You are probably correct, the big players will try anything and everything to make more cash, fair means or foul!

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Hi Col, Electric Bicycles are and always have been a special case. Everything seems to be working well at the moment, the only reason to make a change as far as I can see is to feather the nests of the few European monster manufacturers. Ebikes are simply not being dumped in Europe and Chinese...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    I am pretty certain the commission will find for the big brands whatever evidence is given. We are certainly making plans. I heard today "It’s a bit like a village cricket match with the umpires provided by the home side!" Very astute!

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    I have heard differently Col, Bafang are convinced Bosch are a part of the problem Bafang are leading the defence of what is obviously an unjust and spurious claim. Suzhou, PRC, November 13, 2017 – Bafang, one of Asia’s leading manufacturers of emobility components and complete e-drive systems...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Double standards? So... Bosch through the EBMA, make a case for anti dumping against Chinese motor manufacturers Bafang because of alleged Chinese government subsidies, whilst taking €200M from European/German taxpayers to open a chip plant in Dresden...

    Jeremy puts the new Wisper Wolf unidirectional carbon hard tail through it’s paces. Are there ever any Pedelecs eMTB days arranged? We would be happy to bring half a dozen bikes along.

    ebike law changes coming....

    As I said earlier in the thread Col, it would not surprise me at all, although the 35Km/h speed limit would be tricky to legislate for. I have been at our factory in Kunshan today arranging to move production to Spain. I met with our motor and controller makers who said installing a tuning...

    ebike law changes coming....

    There probably is some truth in this. If we couple this latest revelation with the ludicrous ADT attempts it sounds like the European giants are starting to really ramp up the pressure to ensure their e-bikes are the only choice. Once they have achieved this watch their prices! We all need to...
