"Following the Trump administration's implementation of section 232 tariffs on imported steel products, and continued unpredictability in relation to US trade policies, Riese & Müller has paused incoming shipments. The brand has also instructed its dealers to halt orders and sell through existing stock until a plan can be put in place. In an email, the company stated, "We need to take a few days to carefully evaluate this situation and its implications before proceeding with further steps.""
"Additionally, two brands have released new electric tricycles. Industry giant Lectric is now accepting orders for the upgraded 750W model of the XP Trike2. Puckipuppy's new e-trike, called the Rottweiler, offers many similar features, plus one unexpected addition-a dual-shock rear suspension!"
U.S. section 232 steel tariffs are prompting brands to reassess import costs and could raise e-bike prices. Riese & Müller paused incoming U.S. shipments and instructed dealers to halt orders and sell through existing stock while evaluating the tariff impacts. The manufacturer uses aluminum frames that are not directly affected, but certain steel components and hardware may incur tariffs and increase import costs. Lectric opened orders for an upgraded 750W XP Trike2, and Puckipuppy's Rottweiler e-trike adds a dual-shock rear suspension. Weekly Recharge segments include battery fires, Haoqi vs Ride1Up eMTBs, and Colorado's Rio Grande Trail.
