No - But i'm comparing what i would pay in Germany as to here in SA out of interest German VAT is included @ 19% so in ZA this would be 4% cheaper I stand to be corrected but GPS devices fall under 8517.62 tariff heading which is 0% My ROE is a bit heavy as i could today buy Euro for 16.41 making it even a bit cheaper.

Mike Mac Posted June 9, 2022 Share I have been waiting for the release of this, but I am not sure if it offers much more usable features over the current 1030plus. I was hoping for a serious upgrade of the screen resolution over the 1030p, as I find that is the biggest shortcoming in the current model. At a glance, I don’t see anything that justifies the expense of an upgrade. What am I missing? Edited June 9, 2022 by Mike Mac throttles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dup08 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Would love to know if the Edge 540/840 is also on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Madmarc You also have to remember that once the item arrives in South Africa you will pay 15% Vat on top of the R12750. This will work out at R14662.5. If you are interested in the unit drop us an email and we can discuss this further. sales@easybike.co.za Regards easyBike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neat metric that shows me how soon i'm going to pop may be helpful for someone that's either noodling or foot-flat-out... seems an awful lot to pay...
