Cheaper China e-bikes 'kick in teeth' for UK firms

[saneagle]

The reason people love our 100% legal full throttle ebikes is they are still ridable as a bicycle or EAPC if the customer so wishes. This is not possible on a full blown moped, riding a moped without power would be a nightmare if not impossible.

I understand that full throttle light weight ebikes are a niche within a niche, however people buy them and enjoy the freedom a light weight full throttle ebike gives them.

All the best, David

That's right. When you have a full-range throttle, you can use it or not. Sometimes, it's very handy, even if you don't want to use it. If I had a choice, I'd always have one because there's no downside to it. It's the same as motor assistance, where some people are happy to ride around without switching it on.

The timing is pretty unfortunate as sales in 2024 were frankly quite bad but I actually agree with the decision of lifting anti dumping duty and return to where things were.
