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

    Are saying that we don't need to worry about parts being effected by the anti dumping tariffs to stop circumvention? That would be excellent news, I must have been mistaken. It's just that LEVA believe they will be. Only time will tell, but I have to say I am a little more pessimistic than you...

    Only if ADT is applied to parts as they are in the ordinary cycle trade. Which we all agree is a distinct likelihood.

    Hi Col, I could be mistaken. It's what I have understood from Bafang, they are very much behind the movement to stop this current case of protectionism. They have also said that they are already considering opening a factory in Europe if the protectionism measures prevail, why would they do...

    Hi Steve, thanks for investing in a Wisper, I appreciate the business. May I ask which area you live in and whom you bought your bike through? We may be able to assist by opening a dealer more local to you. All the best, David

    I think you will find motors and batteries will be included. That's why Bosch were one of the instigators.

    That's correct Dave, the bike needs to be 59% European made to build here. We will bring batteries in from a Polish supplier we've been dealing with for a few years now and that way we may be in a position to comply. Electric bike buildiers in China are currently inundated with orders, hoping to...

    Hi Tom, unfortunately the measures will probably be applied to bicycle parts out of China too. This is the main reason we are fighting so hard. All the best, David

    You would be surprised, we can buy at about the same price as in China. The big issue will be the anti circumvention measures that will no doubt follow swiftly.

    Seems incredible that any bikes on the water could be hit with a nearly 200% dumping tariff. That will put a lot of people out of business. Fortunately we have just received a container and one missed the ship last night.

    I bought Meile washing mc and separate dryer 7 years ago, with a 10 year warranty offered by John Lewis at the time. They both still look brand new. I did manage to damage the door lock on the washer when my wife washed my phone recently, they came out and fixed it FOC! Fantastic service.
