Huge police bust on European ebike imports

It seems as though Greece had become one of Europe's major import hus for ebikes. Importers were allegedly utilizing "connections" to flag bikes imported from China as something like tires to avoid EUs very high tariffs on Chinese ebikes.

Of course there are more import countries but I'm getting a sense that if EU authorities continue this pressure it'll become very hard finding affordable ebikes.
