Chinese bike crackdown

The recent influx of cheap Chinese bikes could soon be curbed as Japan pushes for a new treaty to cut down on the number of knockoff bikes on the market.

The country estimates that as much as £317 billion (65 trillion yen) a year is spent on copied goods, including everything from CDs to motorcycles and wants to put a stop to it.

Some countries already crack down on counterfeit bikes if they are reported – there was a big seizure of Chinese minimotos at the Milan bike show in November after a complaint from Blata– but Japan is pushing for the G8 group of nations to sign a new treaty that will mean a more pro-active approach to the problem.

Chinese bikes are slowly growing in popularity in the UK with their low prices making them very attractive to buyers, but low build quality and availability of parts still remain a problem.

If the new treaty is signed countries will be forced to crack down on the import of copied bikes and educate people against buying them.
