If I was to buy a bike from bike boarder based in Germany, do you know if I would pay extra tax or import duties on the bike? It says shipping is free!!

    There's no import duty or VAT to pay on thing imported to the UK from another EU state.
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Bike 1
    Bike 2-A

    Just keep in mind any warranty issues will usually have to be dealt with by the retailer first so might be worth checking warranty details of the brand of bike you plan on buying, as well as Bike-Boarder warranty T&Cs ;)
