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

    I find your reluctance not to invest the profit you make on just a few of your bikes, get involved and help fight this massive injustice absolutely incredible. It seems that you really don't care that prices to your customers will go up by at least 10% probably a lot more. We do care.

    £400.00 may be nothing to you, but for me it's a hell of a lot of money, I mean a lot. Add to that the €1,200 we have paid towards legal fees so far and €1,600 towards Annick's, time and costs and it's not cheap. Despite what you may think we are a small team of 6 full time staff. We don't have...

    Why not? I find your inaction insulting. I cant believe that you just sit back and let others do the work for you.

    Thanks Pete, I am interested in contacting them for an alternative battery case, hence my questions. We have a problem with our battery case tool and it's going to cost quite a few quid to repair so I am looking for a case that will fit. All the best, David

    I sympathise, I too am loathed to order more bikes until I have a feel of which way this is going to end up.

    Many of our parts already come from Taiwan we are pretty certain we can work to the 60/40 rule if it still applies, our new centre motor manufacturer is setting up there now and we will be packing batteries there. For other parts we are already engaged with suppliers in finding good...

    Hi Dave, we live in hope. The EBMA forced 48.5% ADD onto standard bikes 20 years ago and a huge lump of the market immediately moved toTaiwan, they didn't widen the 48.5% ADD to include Taiwan. All the best, David

    Here we go just as expected. If we are to sell into Europe post Brexit Taiwan is the only real option. The rest of the market has also sussed this out. Taiwanese built bikes are about $100 more expensive translating to about £120 - £150 retail after duty, delivery, running costs and VAT have...
