Sunday afternoon Trump tweeted that tariffs on $200 billion of goods will go from 10% to 25% on Friday.
Ebikes were already at 25%, but bikes were at 10%. It's likely bikes will now be participating of that $200 billion that goes to 25%.
Unless this is an 11th hour negotiations tactic, this could mean a lot of ebike OEM 's who chose to gamble and hold prices (absorb tariffs) hoping the trade spat would not last long, could be forced to concede and pass on those costs to consumers.
I could be wrong, but if I were a betting man, prices will be going higher on a lot of brands that didn't raise prices previously.
