High-end eMTB bikes that are stolen in western Europe end up here in eastern Europe, the usual retail price is around the 1000-3000 euro mark, that's less than half their original price for bikes in almost new condition.

There are dedicated organizations that do these runs across Europe, to keep a low profile a wan with only 4 bikes will cross the border at a time.

The profits must be good enough to keep selling the bikes at half the price and continue doing these runs.
