    83.6% Anti-Dumping Tariff on Chinese E-bike. Where the Market will go?

    Sorry David... I did lump everyone in together and that was wrong of me. I know you guys do far far more than most Chinese bike importers and I'm sorry that I didn't make that clear. I hope these changes give you the chance to actually benefit and stand out above the rest, as you deserve to.

    83.6% Anti-Dumping Tariff on Chinese E-bike. Where the Market will go?

    Going to have to pick you up on a couple of things here. Firstly, and I think this is part of the whole problem with this debate... You seem to be looking at the EU like is something external to us. It is us (currently)... EU Bike brands, by definition includes UK bike brands. Your only...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is positive news. It means you'll find the bike that were assembled in China are now assembled in the UK. So its bringing jobs here! It might cost the consumer a few more £s for your bike, but I thought people wanted to support UK companies. This is the direct result of the duty...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You do realise that you're drawing a distinction between the two, when they are actually the same thing. Idential in fact, one is just physical satrical comedy, and the other is reporting on that satirical comedy and adding to it slightly.

    This is why its funny.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well no... and the fact you don't know the difference probably means you're not aware of what is or isn't offensive. a black baby with stupid hair is not a gollywog. Google it! You'll find out what a gollywog is and why its now considered offensive. I choose to support this because its...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You don't see that its indeed possible and ok to mock someone, and call them a baby, idiot etc etc... without resorting to being racist? If Trump was black, it could be a black baby with stupid hair. He's not being mocked because he's white. So yes a giant gollywog would be massively...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    and nothing in your reply surprises me either, and I'm pretty comfortable I'll be proven to be on the right side of history on this. I wouldn't need to know what all these people were pushing. But if Trump, Farage, etc etc are for it... chances are, I'll be against it. But then again I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I helped fund it... so you're calling me a simpleton? I think its hilarious and will target Trump in exactly the way he will least like. Its prefect. We have the right to protest, and mocking politicians is important. Especially ones like Trump.

    Bosch Display 2019: Kiox

    Yes, and its one the UK cycle industry is slowly appreciating. We are all fighting over the cyclist market, where the big potential is with people who aren't cyclists who'd benefit from having a bike, either for leisure of utility. We've got to grow the pie, everyone benefits! But this...

    Bosch Display 2019: Kiox

    Don't forget, the ABS isn't aimed at cyclists, its aimed at people who want a bicycle as a utility vehicle, and aren't cyclists. Its an awesome bit of kit, and if you're new to bikes it makes cycling a whole lot safer and more predictable. Its one of those things you really need to try to...

    Bosch Display 2019: Kiox

    My brain is a bit fried from 2 weeks of product launches, but I'm sure Kiox will be Strava compatable. Its needs to be because its aimed at riders who want that sort of data and don't want to strap an expensive smart phone to the handlebars of their bike for a host of reasons.

    Bosch Display 2019: Kiox

    That's just the speed the bikes been to, not the speed it assisted to. So its highly possible its still a pedelec, just ones thats been ridden down a hill. But yes, there are 3 new things from Bosch this year, the ABS, the Kiox and the new Cobi option. and yes, the new Kiox display (with new...

    Bosch motor, plastic part hanging off

    Its just a plastic cover.. I bet this heat has melted the glue. Stick it back on again and you'll be good to go.

    30 mile each way commute, which bike is best?

    Don't forget that what you want to create by deresticting the speed on a normal pedlec will also need DVLA registration and insurance, you'll have just made it yourself, not bought one. So if you're riding on the roads regularly on the same route, check out the impact of having an accident on...

    What would you do?

    Yes, don't worry, the bike industry is a small one, all the brands work well together and we're all friends really. We spend too much time at events and shows to worry about bitching about each others products. These days pretty much all bikes are good, customers just need to find the ones that...

    What would you do?

    Was out on my KTM eBike on wednesday, its plenty good enough for me, and I seem to be faster than any of the local Haibike owners. https://www.strava.com/activities/1680985314#comments But yes, its all good natured, we're just messing about on the internet, its pointless and no one wins, it...
