by a searcher from University of New England

Hello,

Does anyone have experience in bicycle retail in the UK or elsewhere. Looking to buy a small group of stores and take online as well as create used bicycle marketplace. Keen to speak with anyone in the industry who has seen increased demand through Covid and successfully achieved digital transformation. In addition, keen to discuss e bikes and what margins are being achieved on these. Furthermore, what sort of debt to equity can be achieved on purchase. 

Best,

Alexis
