In early 2025, we proactively shifted 100% of our production to Thailand…

Still, with there being no guarantee that Trump won’t increase the tariffs for neighbouring countries as well, it is possible that the prices will go up even if the company manages to shift its focus away from China.

As for the potential of shifting production to the U.S., Aventon was clear that they won’t be heading in that direction. “Unfortunately, there is no supply chain of e-bike components here in the US and all key components are imposed with significant tariffs coming from China.

They are basically at the whim of how trump is feeling from one day to the next.

Isn’t it easier for American businesses to push back, rather than go through all this effort and still be at risk of being in the exact same position at a moments notice?

Accessibility needs to be universal. There may not be other signs like that in a particular city or country, but the rest of the world uses a line through “do not” signs.

Even a child could understand what it means, compared to different random coloured edge markings. And that’s exactly the point.

One thing I can appreciate about EUC riders, is that they are always geared up. 👍

Poor design. If you were colour blind, that sign would be very confusing. It needs a line through it.

For example, these signs all mean not to do something, and anyone should be able to figure that out:

If they are not being discriminatory and actually legitimately fining people, then I’d say this is a huge win.

The fact that over 4000 people were CAUGHT means there must have been tens of thousands doing it over those two months.

And if real income falls, that’s called a recession.

But by that metric, rich people would never experience a recession. If that’s the case, why do we allow them to cause a recession for the rest of us? Madness.
