But you cannot continue with your current supplier as long as there is the risk of ADT. Some of the larger Chinese suppliers have already moved production to Europe,I haven't approached them about prices. The smaller suppliers have given up on Europe and are concentrating on the rest of the...

You have to admit the EU have been clever. By making this duty retrospective they can keep the negotiations going for years,the risk of ordering bikes that could be subject to massive duties even after delivery is just too risky. I just don't see a way out of this other than to buy from Europe...

Business is good in the short term. Intelligent customers are buying bikes now realising that the days of cheap Chinese bikes is probably over. When current Kudos stocks are exhausted then will come the time for decisions. It is ironic that at a time when the people voted Brexit to 'take back...

Not always so. The Taiwanese can behave like a free port,provided the bikes are for export. Kudos Dave

What all this shows is the power wielded by the EU. After Brexit we will be no better off because May is already saying that to satisfy the Irish border problem she will uphold EU tariffs for an indeterminate time. I don't suppose our government have made any input either for or against these...

Ironically it's a very busy time for Kudos e bike sales. Customers who know about the possible ADT are buying up our current stock to avoid the possible price increases post duty. After ADT who knows? The real hurt is the possibility of imposing the duty 3 months retrospective, that is cruel...

David.....Don't worry about Brexit, by the time it happens Boris will be in charge, hehe !!!!!

Did I read ADT proposal is 189%....???? KudosDave

The Safari is a tough no nonsense electric bike,we had a bulk deal for a hire company which resulted in a few surplus to order....now available £695.00 each or £995.00 for two. KudosDave

How about our Kudos Rapide...I have a couple of ex-demos that would sell for less than £1k. The spec is ideal for commuting. Just sold one today to an older guy who is commuting 9 miles per day. The BPM motor gives a lot of grunt for hill climbing. KudosDave

The Portuguese wont make the frames,they wont make the gears,wont make the motors,wont make the pedals,wont make the tyres etc etc. What will happen is the chinese will fiddle the values on the imports and the Portuguese will fiddle the cost of assembly,to get round the rules of origin...

Rob....Yes it would be easy to set up a bike frame manufacture in the U.K...but very expensive to build a competitive one. The frame manufacturer in Tianjin,extrudes his tube from the raw billet....that is an expensive extrude machine.He bends the tube on CNC benders.The welding is robotic. The...

A Conservative MP (Leaver) on the TV this morning said that if we stayed in the customs union then we would have to abide by EU standards but as Chukka pointed out even if we leave the customs union we will still have to abide by EU standards if we want to sell to them. Obvious comment but...

The world must be laughing at us. We make a decision and 15 months later our government are still arguing about what we want. I understand that the 60 ultra Brexiteers have sent a letter (30 pages) that if she goes for a custom partnership they wont support it. But their numbers just dont add up...

See religion does work....all you non believers.....I went to church today and ......SPURS BEAT CHELSEA AT HOME. It’s not life or death it’s more important than that!!!!! KudosDave

I think it will build before it dies,the Tories putting the fire out with petrol. I don’t understand why Labour is so anti Semitic,is it Corbyn’s mates in Palestine? KudosDave

The poisoning came along at a perfect time for Theresa May,she seems very comfortable with security matters. The anti semitism scandal hit Corbyn at just the wrong time. Was it orchestrated or just bad luck for Corbyn....I notice he has ditched the Lenin hat .!!!!! KudosDave
