Calgary's Premier Recumbent Trike Shop SINCE 2012

Please see my updated testimonial page for all reviews.

 As everyone knows there is  economic uncertainty at the moment, this largely does not affect the recumbent industry in Canada. For example we have trade agreements in place with the European Union and the UK, so there is no threat of tariffs increasing prices. 

Trident Trikes has enough inventory to last the year, so any tariff increase on trikes coming into the **USA will not be passed through to Canadian dealers for the foreseeable future. There continues to be no duty on electric trikes coming into Canada, and non-American trikes imported into Canada from the USA have always been (and still are) taxed at 13% duty.

 One issue is that our dollar has weakened against all the other major currencies,  so exchange rates are not ideal.  However I have a currency broker that offers me better rates than the banks and I don't pay for wire transfers, these are all savings that I pass through.  

Another issue is shipping, rates have not come down since after the pandemic, especially from the USA.    I am working diligently with suppliers and initiating my own contacts to try and obtain the best rates. Shipping rates from Europe are still really good!

**FYI none of the brands that I carry are made in the USA if it is of concern. As of March there is a 25% surtax in place on electric trikes made in the USA but this does not affect me.

AZUB  announced some nominal increases, but it mostly has to do with material costs and discontinuing 'basic' configuration 3 x 9 drivetrains, and moving towards a much more modern set of components featuring Shimano CUES 2 x 10 drivetrains.

In closing... since I have little debt and no rent I can remain viable at lower margins.  

Feel free to reach out should you require further information.

Stay strong Canada!
