Just FYI Estarli are designed and assembled in the UK from their site, I would be interested to see if they actually make the frames themselves and I suspect the motors etc are imports. Rare these days outside of custom bikes to get them from anywhere but Asia, I have an Italian one made from scratch in their factory but it does cost a lot!

It's fairly well known that the bike component supply chain (regular and e-bike) is pretty consolidated with few competing suppliers.  

Everything can be bought in as a component; and it is hard to innovate in most areas.

Sure but it's the argument of British built vs British assembled 

A bike assembled here from Temu parts could be argued as British built but it'd be a stretch
