EU citizens can now buy US recumbents from us if their country has no dealer.

If you live outside Germany, France or Switzerland you can buy a Lightning recumbent from us.

Would it be profitable for you as a customer to buy from Sykkel-Bent located in Norway?

Yes because you pay to us the same price that is listed on the Lightning and Cruzbike homepage.

On your package the value will be the dealer price so that means you will pay less toll!
You can also choose to have it sent in two boxes as bicycle parts and pay 4, 7 %

We will offer a good freight price $200 to the EU countries without a dealer when you choose to have your recumbent sent in two boxes as parts. If you want it in one box it will also be possible.

When you import a complete bike from USA and Taiwan to EU you have to pay 14 % toll on the bike and the freight cost then comes the sales tax and a small fee for the customs.

If you import bicycle parts from USA and from Taiwan you only have to pay 4, 7 % toll.

If you want a complete bike you can choose to have it sent in one box and pay the 14% toll.Lightning will write on the invoice the amount that we paid for it as a dealer.
So you will get a smaller bill from the customs in your country when you order through Sykkel-Bent then if you order directly because we get a dealer price.

The rules for toll are the same in all EU countries but the sales tax is different.
Sykkel-Bent or Lightning are not responsible for tolls which you have to pay.
The rules are quite clear 4.7% on bicycle parts + the freight cost then your countries sales tax which can vary in the different EU countries + the fee to the customs. The 4.7% toll on
bicycle parts applies in all EU countries.

This might be your chance to get a Lightning product at a reasonable price.
