Have tariffs affected pricing yet?

Just curious, I bought my second ebike about a year ago and tariffs weren't a thing at that time. My bike is a "rize" ebike and came from Canada. I shudder to think what kind of fees I would have today if I had the same bike delivered to my house

Wow, that's a huge increase

Really? I've seen around a 20% increase on Bosch e-bike products.

I think that a lot of companies (not all) are using the tariffs as an excuse to inflate their prices, and I don't just mean ebike stuff. Look around you at prices of things you bought a year or two ago and compare the prices today, there is way more going on than tariffs. Local grocery chains are increasing prices like crazy and I think they are making money hand over fist right now, it's crazy. I've been hunkering down and trying not to spend any unnecessary money on anything I don't really need, hopefully everything sorts itself out sooner or later. I understand the importance of the tariffs and the global economy, but we all need some relief.

I bought a Superharness kit from Grin a couple of weeks ago. The cart at checkout said to expect 30-40% tariffs on the parts originating from China (the display and throttle). The parts made in Canada have no tariff. I was expecting to pay less than $50 to DHL. However, DHL delivered it to me in California last week and didn't ask for duties. YMMV.
