Buy it in calais n ride it into the ferry

I get this pretty much every day, unfortunately now with drastically fall in the GBP, brexit tariffs and 3-6x increase in EU to UK shipping costs, bikes especially large niche cargo bikes are worse than 1:1 with the euro.
There isn't a way around it for most people and the price is unlikely to come back down again (just seen latest price rises for eBullitts, 3rd time this year, an EP8 is closer to £8k RRP than £7k which is just mental).Get a Danish friend, get them to buy the bike, take a nice ferry and a bus ride, then ride it home, it will be an adventure and you will be saving thousands of GBP. Warranty may be an issue, but you have thousands of GBP in your pocket to deal with this yourself ;)

Finally Decather's cargo bike is available in the UK: https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/electric-cargo-bike-rear-loading-longtail-r500/_/R-p-329177
It retails for €2800 in Europe. Fuck Brexit man.
