May of 2024, the Biden Administration increased tariffs by 11-16% on lithium-ion battery packs from China. The Trump Administration has increased tariffs by 10%. Seems like last year's increase bumped prices up to a degree, but retail prices of ebikes, from the big brands eventually came down by the fall of 2024. We will likely see the same with this increase. Between late fall and late winter, for the 11 years I've been involved with ebikes, has been the best time to buy. Buy now! I just did... again
Good luck with your new trike!
