The next few months are an awkward time of the year to have much choice in buying a pedelec. Importers are sorting out their new models for delivery early 2016, the big manufacturers have released their new models for delivery late 2015,early 2016. The autumn tends to be a quiet time of the year so retailers are reluctant to put much new stock in until early 2016.
Some models popular in 2015 will not necessarily be released again in 2016... I know that sounds strange but that is the way of the cycle world.
So if you see a pedelec you like it may be prudent to secure it now, most of the manufacturers increased their prices at Eurobike for new stock.
Some cheap bikes are often available late in 2015 but this is often slow stock clearing....why was the model slow to sell?

because they were offered initially at over inflated price. Watch out for special offers on Haibike 2015 Fatsix just before Christmas.
