Community Update – Tariffs Decreased for 90 Days
On May 12, a new executive order brought temporary tariff relief, cutting certain import taxes from 175% to 55% for the next 90 days. That’s great news for U.S. businesses and consumers, but we want to give you the full picture of what this means.
Let’s break it down and talk about how it affects our pricing, our products, and most importantly, you.
Wait, didn’t your prices just go up?
Yes - for the first time since 2021.
We’ve held off as long as possible, even while our costs continued to rise. The truth is, our recent price adjustment was long overdue and necessary to maintain the quality and sustainability of our bikes.
While we’re grateful for the tariff reduction (now 55% instead of 175%), this is still a major cost we need to absorb.
And let’s be clear: this adjustment has nothing to do with increasing our profit margins. It’s simply the reality of operating with top-tier components, fluctuating global trade, and a commitment to premium quality.
So, where is the rest of the cost coming from?
While most cargo bikes are priced within the same price range, Ferla has pushed hard to deliver unbeatable value for your dollar. Ferla has been out of competition for years because we have stayed focused on YOU: your safety, your comfort, and your long-term satisfaction.
Most of it comes from what makes a Ferla bike… a Ferla bike.
Here’s what you’re investing in:
✅ UL-Certified Motors – A powerful, custom motor designed specifically for cargo bike performance. No other cargo bike brand in the U.S. offers this level of power (750W) and certification.
✅ UL-Certified Samsung Battery Capacity – Up to 140 miles of range with a dual battery setup, also UL-Certified, and includes a rapid charging upgrade. Again, we were pioneers in bringing this level of battery performance and safety to the cargo bike world.
✅ Top-Tier Gear System
✅ Custom Ferla Hydraulic Brakes
✅ Puncture-Resistant Tires + Heavy-Duty Rims
✅ Real Bamboo Cargo Box
✅ Intuitive Dashboard + Fast USB Charging
✅ Foldable Design
And one more thing…
🛑 No Recalls. Ever.
That’s right. In all our years building bikes, not a single Ferla bike has ever been recalled. That’s our standard - and it won’t change.
Can’t you just build everything in the U.S.?
We wish it were that easy.
While our bikes are proudly built in California by our dedicated Ferla team, all major components are sourced internationally, simply because it ensures better quality and faster turnaround times.
Spilling the tea: Every U.S.-based brand relies on global manufacturing for top-tier brakes, motors, and battery cells, but not all build their products here. We do!
We’re proud to partner with factories that specialize in e-bike innovation, and we’ll continue to push for higher standards.
Should I wait to buy?
Unlike other brands, we take pricing seriously.
Our last price adjustment was back in 2021, and even that only came after real cost shifts and thoughtful consideration. This time, we waited patiently for the tariff madness to stabilize - and now that it finally has, we’re making the change.
We didn’t rush, and we didn’t put you under pressure. But this new price point reflects today’s reality - and it’s final.
Our hope is that it stays locked in for years to come.
Flexible Buying Options!
We’ve got you covered, better than ever:
