It was strange that Hammond caved in on staying in the customs union,he agreed with Fox that we should leave on March 2019. I suspect he agreed because he knows that the EU will not agree to any interim deal to replace it. We only have up to October 2018 because the EU wants 6 months to ratify...

Not e-bikes they only have 6% tariff duty and no anti-dumping duty. You should be importing the Flying Pigeon bikes or Dahon style folders non electric,the Flying Pigeon bikes are $38.00 CKD and really nice Dahon folders,better than the Brompton,are less than $100.00. At the moment non electric...

Colin....I feel for you,it must be difficult to import Euro priced product....I am lucky that I only have one major product range from the EU and that I have a monopoly on so customers just have to pay the increase. If it wasnt for Trump making such a mess in the states I could see us having a...

Looks like we could be mates with the chinese if we Brexit. While the US has placed punitive duty of 266 per cent on imports of some Chinese steel products, similar EU tariffs amount to just 21 per cent. Germany and France — along with the European Commission — had argued for punitive tariffs...

Brexit is having one effect....the cost of buying European product into the UK must be ready to rise considerably,would not like to be a big importer from Europe at the moment....German e-bikes??? Havent looked at the price of German cars lately are they going up? It should reduce our trade...

I am not talking about toytown inflation,I am talking about rampant inflation when cash becomes of minimal value. KudosDave

We haven't had inflation yet!!! KudosDave

Whatever happens it is becoming obvious that the £ will continue tanking against the Euro. At some point the BoE will be forced to raise interest rates until the £ stabilises. That will bring back inflation. The wealthy will move cash into assets.....property,oil,gold,index linked funds...

But his wife was given £7million to tidy up the family pile in Hammonds last budget...would seem a bit greedy if he grabbed expenses as well. The family wealth comes from mining in some pretty dodgy parts of the world...look at what he voted against,he's no social carer.....I am sure it was...

I was surprised that Hammond seems to have caved in on the subject of staying in the customs union after March 2019. This is obviously under pressure from Fox,who hasn't a job if we stayed in the customs union. But Hammond wanted a transition period up to 3 years,if we leave the customs union...

Kenji....we all pretty much gave up on regen,the losses are such that for a mile down hill you might get 10 feet up hill,its just not worth the extra complexity. KudosDave

But you surely don't want us all to have a voyage to the bottom,to destroy the good parts of our country just because its not enjoyed by all. I can understand resentment against the wealthy south but I cannot understand how Brexit is going to achieve a realignment of wealth. My son gets no paid...

My business is part of an industry which is a world leader and currently booming,due primarily to the weakness of the £ v the Euro. I live in the south east which makes the lionshare of the wealth of our country and pays the lionshare of the taxes. The city of London and all the associated...

Perhaps they are different in Yorkshire. I know so many young people who work their nuts off. My own son gets up at 3 in the morning and does a 12 hour shift,sometimes longer. Perhaps the Yorkshire young are trainee Brexiters who don't know when they are well off. Maybe there is a different work...

To my knowledge nobody has combined a rear mounted motor with an internal Nexus hub gear system....the Bafang motor already has a gear system to increase the torque,essential when only 250 watts is available,it must be possible to make that gear system adjustable ( maybe only 3 steps would be...

Bikes without gears are like a car without gears....you have to compromise between very high ratio,like driving a car permanently in top gear,difficult to hill start but ok once you get up to speed. Or you have a low ratio,which means your legs are in high cadence even for modest speeds but...

We are reducing our range at the moment,have many KTM at big discounts but long way from Mansfield. The NEC show is a good place to look and try but not to buy. KudosDave

Rob....I wish,the vat man is doing the best out of this deal. KudosDave

Shirley Williams on BBC Parliament made the comment that Brexit is one of the most selfish projects that the olds have inflicted on the young in the UK,she described that the young 'have been sold down the river' In China the one child policy is now being deleted by the Chinese government...
