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

    I agree Mike, losing China will certainly damage the industry. The European manufacturers simply don’t like the competition. The Chinese built and expanded the market now the European manufacturers want it for themselves. Here is one remainer rapidly turning into a leaver!

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

    Kits could be affected if the anti dumping tariff covers components only such as motors, batteries and frames etc as expected. It’s not the end of the world, we have built our bikes in Germany before now, they just were not as good as the Chinese models. We are all busy making contingency...

    I completely understand, being 63 next May I know the feeling! As long as the our pedals are being turned forwards, even at 20 rpm the throttle will be fully functional. We tend to fit 52 and 13 to on our 26" bikes keep the cadence low. Much lower and hill climbing can suffer. All the best, David

    Thanks Woosh. That's really very kind of you. One small point re the Torque sensor, I agree in level 1 Torque setting you would need to put some effort into riding the bike up a hill, however in level 4 of the Torque settings you need only put a little pressure on the pedals to get full power...

    Thanks for the head's up Woosh, I knew about the first rule but not the second. I will change our bikes to conform immediately. All the best, David

    Recommend a stepthrough with throttle?

    It's a problem but unfortunately it's illegal to offer a full throttle without the cranks turning. It takes about two seconds to change our bikes to full throttle to 15.5mph, but we don't normally offer it, it turns an EPAC (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle) into a moped...... unless of...

    That's brilliant news, I'm off the see Richard Ashworth later today..... Or not..... The South East England Conservative MEP Richard Ashworth has been suspended from the party after supporting a vote in Strasbourg saying not enough progress had been made in the Brexit negotiations. :rolleyes...

    Thanks Neal, Just to confirm, the Wisper Torque bikes have all three options. 1. Torque sensor mode 2. Cadence (speed) sensor only mode 3. Throttle from 0 to 4 mph without pedals turning. Throttle from 4 to 15.5mph as long as the pedals are turning forward. All the best, David

    Why am I not surprised! So basically we would be banned from buying ebikes from China. I do hope the Chinese retaliate.

    Not sure Mike, I assumed it would replace duty.

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

    Good point, I wonder if we could get away with importing the electric bikes at 6% and separating the batteries on the commercial invoice to pay 2.7%? Has anyone tried this? It does bring the consequences of double taxation into sharp relief though. I wonder how many people realise they are...

    Stella are also huge in Holland, they will certainly be involved in trying to curb the accesses of EU protectionism. If we think this through, say we do actually Brexit, which seems to be getting more unlikely by the day. If we in the UK are able to import ebikes, or anything else, at a lower...

    Strictly speaking the rider should not be on the bike whilst operating the 4mph walk long mode.

    Also worth considering.... Didn't the Chinese develop the ebike over the years the European bike manufacturers didn't want to know? Now the European manufacturers have realised how mistaken they were, and have started to manufacture. Incredibly, they are now saying that the Chinese are taking...
