I thought you may all like to see our fantastic new colours for the summer! The bikes will be here in two weeks, if anyone would like more details please visit www.amps.bike or email me david@amps.bike.

I should point out that the self coloured mudguards are not steel, but completely shatterproof and almost indestructible Poly Carbon.

£999.00 with 375Wh lithium battery, 180mm front and 160mm Tektro disc brakes, our new lightweight blade forks custom designed and manufactured for this Wisper bike, a very quiet and powerful motor and of course our excellent back up through local stockists.

Hi David, thanks!

They are a little underpriced at the moment to keep in with the cycle to work scheme. Hoping to get the right result later this month in the referendum so we can keep prices low!

All the best, David

Keep following what we are doing and you won't go far wrong,hehe.
You just need a little bit more experience of the electric bike market in the UK,us old hands know a thing or two,hehe !!!!!!!!!!
By the way,what is the right result in the stupid referendum,if Cameron had been braver and asked for what we really needed then the remain lobby would have won easily.
Someone told me a good story which focuses the mind....
You are living on an island,it's very comfortable and life is good-there is another island that you haven't a clue what it's like,but you can see it on the horizon,the water between is shark infested,you are only strong enough to swim one way,would you dive in?
Regards
Dave

Absolutely no contest David, I'd stay where I was!

Being selfish, all I can see is the immediate affect on our costs, since this refferendum was announced the pound has dropped 6%! Which means our £999 bikes should really now be £1,060. If we get the wrong result I can easily see another 5% coming off the £, our £999 bike will then have to go up to £1,110!!!

All the other EBike importers I talk to are holding off a decision on whether to hike prices by at least 10%.

Of course this will be reflected in anything we as a country import.

Inflation, rising interest rates to combat inflation, negative equaty, house repossessions.

I was in business, before we were in. The paperwork and red tape involved in taking any commercial goods into France was a nightmare I don't want to go back to!

I have enough stock pre paid until 2017 so can put off price decisions until then.
It seems to me that older people are the majority in the leave camp and younger people are the majority in the remain camp .
The leave seem pretty much 100 % against immigration and are ignoring any arguments about the economy,but we are all living longer.....some 40% of care workers are immigrants,mainly from Eastern Europe,every hotel/restaurant/farm is mainly staffed by immigrants,quite frankly doing the jobs that Brits no longer want to do,all these migrants are paying taxes to contribute to our economy.
People talk about a points system,like Australia,but Australia had a skills shortage,we also have a skills shortage but we also need people to work hard,so we will probably be inviting just as many immigrants whether we leave or remain.
The quality of staff in hotels and restaurants these days is so good,the Eastern Europeans have unquestionably lifted the standards ,not to say the Brits working there are not also good but in the past there was a lot of poor staff who rightfully cannot now hold down jobs....do they think that if the migrants are excluded they will get jobs,I don't think so,I think they will be very disappointed.
I wonder what would happen if hospitals started closing because of a lack of staff and operations were cancelled indefinitely,our government are not exactly making it attractive for our home grown medical staff to stay in the UK,we could have awful staffing problems.

I bring in over £3 million in dollar quoted product,currently at £ v $ 1.44, actually that's not a bad rate,I get concerned when it falls below 1.40, I think the markets have already assumed a remain vote,if we vote to leave the £ will fall off a cliff,interest rates will have to rise to stabilise.
I don't think most of the population realise how much imported product we rely on,we have always been a great trading nation and still are,but to be competitive at trading product we have to buy the make-up components,if our cost prices rise we will be less competitive on resale.
The tariff duty on e-bikes is only 6%, if we leave the EU I cannot see our government reducing that duty and lose that revenue.

My predictions if we vote leave:

FTSE100 will fall significantly at least 10% and 20% would not surprise me
Prices for items will increase
Immigration will not reduce
Scotland will get a second referendum
The pound will weaken between 5% and 15%. This will result in higher prices but make exports cheaper.
NHS spending remaining at current rates plus inflation if we are lucky
House prices reducing - good and bad depends if your on the ladder.

I would expect this uncertainty to last several years while the way forward is worked out. Boris will be PM and will have introduced a number of vanity projects that look very nice but do little to help UK citizens.

The medium and long-term affects are more uncertain we could negotiate trade deals but these would take at least a year. I could see us being okay finically but certain worker rights being eroded.

I would likening voting leave to putting all your winnings from poker on red in roulette you could win but you could equally think sugar why did I take the risk.

If you were going to take the risk we should have done it while the sun was shinning not when we are not much better than when the recession hit.
