Have tariffs affected pricing yet?

[DDBB]

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

bosch batteries in the us went up about 300.00

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.

Ive introduced my own tariff, I charge 2 dollars a like and five dollars per laugh.

Replies are on a word count basis , nice and nasty are charged at the same rate

it's all very confusing/scattered and unpredictable. between significant labor shortages domestically and tarriffs prices on many things have gone up, but i would challenge anyone to really figure it out

Prices have gone up, the question is mainly which idiotic policy to blame it on.

Don't know if it has anything to do with tariffs; Lectric ONE went up from $1899 to $2399 yesterday. That's $500. I was looking at buying two but that made me decide to wait and see...

When a 100 percent tariff is placed on products of a counry country one can expect a 100 percent increase in price unless the seller decides to eat some of it.

If tariffs need to be collected, you'll get a surprise later.

the older 500's regular price is abpout 790.00 now they are 1100 unless you find them still at the lower priice but that won't last. I bought two in November from REI for 790 now they are 1100.00

I haven't bought a lot of bike stuff lately (stocked up on consumables knowing tariffs were coming), but it's hitting us at work. We're refusing most tariff increases, so either not buying, or finding alternatives. We were right in the middle of a $12B expansion when all this started happening & our suppliers are trying to hike prices. We've told them they eat most of it, or we figure out something else. We also average around $100M/year for data center & server refreshes & getting less per dollar spent. So far, the answer has been layoffs to make up the difference. 1200 last month and more if this continues. It's not a good situation for anyone.
