somewhat related, im on holidays in Umbria, center of italy and we wanted to buy e-mtbs for our trip to this wild mountian range,
well, there were NONE to be found in any shop in italy, or whole of EU for that matter, physical shops or online... factories are just out of dozens of critical components that they cant source, havent supplied new bikes for a while now,
had to go second hand from a guy who rents and renews his fleet every year.... he had his new ones pre-ordered before this mess
