Are Lectric prices expected to go up due to tariffs?

Hello, I am thinking of getting a lectric ebike this fall (can't get it earlier due to moving). Are the prices for lectric ebikes (specifically xp 3.0) expected to go up in the meantime due to tariffs and other factors? If so, likely by how much?
Thank you

I'm so glad I didn't wait to buy. My ebike has already been picked up by UPS and will be here this Wednesday. I got the Xpress and all the "free" accessories, like fenders, a bike rack, a light, and a suspension seat post. I went ahead and bought an extra battery from Lectric. I also bought a Cloud 9 seat, a helmet, and spoke reflectors. I got a cargo net, an insulated storage bag, and straps for heavier items like potting soil. I'm probably going to 3D print a phone mount. I was originally going to wait a couple of months before purchasing, but I'm glad I didn't.

Plan on long term 60% tariff, bike price will go up at least 30%.
Or stop funding an invading, genocidal, butchering Communist dictatorship completely, buy something not made in CCP Empire.

As of today, the Trump administration is making progress in lowering tariffs with China.

KKKaroline was just doing her daily round of lies and said that was untrue. Like all things in this admin, who tf knows.

True. It's sad I get downvoted for trying to pass along news. I hate Trump.

Biden was sooo much better. Kamala would’ve been perfect. This sucks. Did u like Kamala
mattbladez@reddit
Biden never tanked the stock market so him and his buddies could commit insider trading… and I doubt Kamala would have.
Might be because they aren’t crooks.

Exactly. Nothing to say. Do u hear yourself lmfao biden wasn’t a crook? 😅 embarrassing

Biden profited huge from being president. He’s the most crooked president of all time. Him and his crackhead son. Kamala profited huge as well.
Meanwhile trump lost a massive portion of his wealth… so what’re u talking about ????

Making progress my ass. Trump is the one who put the tariffs on. He can get rid of them with the snap of his tiny orange fingers

It's expected, but not sure on how much they will increase. Tariff is too unstable now for companies to make a clear call. Maybe you can buy now can contact customer service to hold off on the shipping until you move to the new place, just give them a call beforehand and see if that's possible.

I think they will increase prices. I noticed some models no say sold out, which usually only happened on discounted models. Pretty much all the bikes now say limited stock or while supplies last. They might be waiting to see what happens before replenishing stock.

Perhaps I would call Lectric?
I just ordered one for my wife 2 weeks ago and it was delivered in two days.
I can’t believe that they wouldn’t need to increase prices. Tonight’s news says cargo ships arriving from China are down 44%.

Ebay seller informed me a potential $100 200% tariff on my $35 item, asked me to cancel the order

Hi my dad is the ceo of lectric and he said no

No one knows with certainty. Everyone is adjusting to rapid changes.
Honestly, if your commute is going to be short, say under or around 5 miles, you might want to think about a regular bike as a backup plan.

Lectric sources their e-bikes from China. The margins in the D2C e-bike business are thin. It is inconceivable that prices will remain the same.

Doubt it
