With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

Well let’s face it, if he soiled himself on national tv and rolled around in his own ordure. The cult members would praise his brilliance and wisdom.
He is the quintessential moron
Hey you want a free plane?
Of course.. It would be stupid to turn away free

Two interesting data points from the bike (though not e-bike) industry:

Oveja Negra, a small manufacturer of bikepacking bags in Salida, CO, is laying off half of its staff due to displacements caused by tariffs:


It is interesting to note that mostly that is because of a total collapse of exports, not increased costs of imported components. This absolutely sucks because Oveja Negra makes absolutely excellent stuff.

Also, perspectives from a pretty established manufacturer of bicycle components in the Pacific NW:

 
Never let them know youre next move is actually proving to be quite a disruptor at the moment, hes fallen out with Israel overnight and no one saw that coming, of course its only a short time before any policy announcement just goes in the respond next week tray
It only adds to the fact that he/USA cannot be trusted as a partner in anything. I hate it, but it's the reality of today. Time to move on... :(
 
If that's what makes you feel better,👍.

Back to tariffs.
It most certainly doesn't make anyone "feel better" mate.
It's just a world wide fact.
Go ahead and ignore it, but that changes nothing. The rest of planet earth is moving on, without you...
Get over your fine self... :)

Have you consider Trump did the world a favor with the tariff game? Why would the rest of the world want to be dependent on one country. And if they weren't dependent, why would US customers paying more for your exported crap (except maple leaf cookies are good) give all the countries hissy fits?

I have and it's about the stupidest thing I've heard since the last time Trump spoke. 🙃
