If you want to buy bicycle accessories and complete bikes this is the time of the year to *start* looking for deals. Between last years' models needing to be cleared out of inventory, and year-end closeouts, the late fall is the buying season.
The fact that there is a glut of ebikes on the market, sales are slow and manufacturers are already blowing out inventory is something that bears mention as well. Either the specials are already well under way (Specialized for example) or they are only going to get better as holiday sales start.
