June 19, 201016 yr Does anyone know, or have heard if Ossa's are going to be brought into the country? If yes, anyone know who is going to be bringing them in? Edited June 19, 201016 yr by BrianMartinson
June 21, 201016 yr you can assume $8500 to 9000 - ball park figures Where did those numbers come from?
June 21, 201016 yr Where did those numbers come from? they list at $8950 in Canada, the loonie vs greenback is near par. Edited June 21, 201016 yr by borus
June 22, 201016 yr Author I do know there is a huge interest in our little club here in Wyoming for them
June 29, 201016 yr Lots of interest in my circles here as well - I wonder if Ossa will spend the money to get them certified here.

June 29, 201016 yr what's involved with certification and who does it?cheers Ill try to explain it as I know it but should probably just let Laser explain. It's a way to attempt to balance import vs export and eliminate the U.S trade deficit. Exporters sell certificates to importers in an amount equal to how much of fair market value product the wish to sell.
June 29, 201016 yr I was talking about the EPA and DOT certification. I was told that the EPA cert was $10K + a bike to test, and a mountain of paperwork. . Not sure about the other paperwork that Motofire was referring to - God forbid the bike has any lead in it! .... In any case, I believe the US importer is the responsible party to make sure this happen - so it may be awhile (ever?) before we see a bike in the US. (Isn't that why there aren't any Xispa bikes in the US??)

The lead is only a problem if the bike is manufactured directly to children...........they don't care if us adults chew on the frame and get lead poisoning. Stupid overboard use of the law. Really how many kids are gonna chew on the frame or remove the protective covers on the ones with batteries and take a lick.
June 30, 201016 yr Author The whole "lead law" really hits home for me. I have a 4 year old son who just started riding. I hope I will be able to keep him on bikes as he grows out of them
