TM is going to say today that she would never accept the EU's plan for NI. Does it mean that she is about to u-turn yet again? On the face of it, the UK's position on NI is ridiculous. Talking about having cake and eating it, if TM wants NI to be treated the same as the rest of the UK, why does...

King Meter LCDs work with Lishui controller. Post some pictures of your LCD and connector. They may have 5 or 6 pins. Post also a picture of the label on the controller.

many economists reckon that in a no deal brexit scenario, each side will lose as much as 200 billions a year. the 40 billion covers the subscription until end of 2020 and a lot of other small obligations. It's really small beer in comparison to the loss of possibly over a trillion Pounds by the...

I reckon not, if she gets half a deal.

the EU would lose just as much as we would in that scenario - apparently about 200 billions a year. It's lose-lose, I reckon Raab will do a far better job than lazy DD.

of course we'd charge them the same, 6% though, 14% are for push bikes.

I don't think anything will change until 2023. No deal brexit still compatible with negotiated transition. then there is the 2022 general election. After that, maybe things will change. Bikes made in the UK may be subject to 6% third country tariff if exported to the EU.

that could be interpreted as state aid. Just joking. I am excited at the prospect of manufacturing here.

the main issue with producing bikes in the UK is the supply chain. In China, you can build or customise a model with a minimum order of about 50 bikes. Although you can't pay staff wages with 50 bikes, the system allows you to iron out small production issues here in the UK and refine the model...

non producing members in the EU have no means to protect their own small businesses against the EU's use of anti-dumping in favour of big businesses under the pretext of protecting jobs. The more immediate effect is less choice and higher cost for the consumers.

10% on BBSes, 15%-20% on hub kits over time.

there are always low cost kits.

and pop goes the OEM market differentiation.

I don't dispute that, still would like to add that like fining google and ADD on e-bikes today, soon the EU won't need to rely on indirect taxation, they just increase their 'own resources' with anti-dumping duty and fines, directly targeting businesses.

we are not lean enough to compete on 4% manufacturing margin. That's what EU manufacturers work at.

In view that the measure's primary aim is to squash the market share of Chinese made e-bikes - which is about 30%, the immediate beneficiaries are existing EU manufacturers who currently have 30% spare production capacity. Guess what, there won't be much room for newcomers.

not in the next 6 months but possible upturn in 2019.

that's why we gave up making things. Table 8 in this document: http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2018/july/tradoc_157124.prov.en.L181-2018.pdf Average sales prices in the EU: 1,276 Euros (factory price) Average production cost in the EU: 1,234 Euros Number of units in the investigation...

I was hoping that it won't be as bad as 89% originally floated. I still get hit by 37.5% - I don't know if it is going to be retrospectively applied. It's a tough choice between a rock and a hard place. I placed the last orders in January! the two factories I work with were absolutely inundated...
