Since 1 February 2018, a subsidy can be attributed to non-taxable individuals who decide to buy an new electric bike (bikes with lead battery do not qualify), with the condition that they do not sell the bike within the year following the purchase. This scheme can only be attributed to a person who has already been granted a subsidy by a local government (collectivité territoriale). To receive the national subsidy, the combination of the 2 schemes should not exceed 20% of the price paid for the bike or 200€.
