With a 60% tariff, Chinese bikes will have stickers closer to Japanese bikes. But it still looks like there is sufficient cost gap that the Chinabike market would still be viable, especially for someone's first bike they bought to learn on, then get a better one later. Or they just wanted as cheap a commuter/playbike as possible. Also, used Chinese bikes should hold or even improve value when selling after the tariff.
