Electric bike bonus 2018: canceled by minister

In response to a question about RTL, Government Accounts Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Thursday 28 September that the electric bike bonus, which took effect in early 2017, will not be renewed in 2018.

« We felt that the government should not continue to subsidize electric bicycles because when it did, the local communities did not.“It is substantiated that the minister was questioned at RTL, which leaves the territories to create their own financing mechanisms.

Launched in February 2017, the Electric Bike Bonus has allowed you to receive up to € 200 in assistance with your electric bike purchase. According to the associations that ask for its renewal, as of 150.000 September 15, more than 2017 users could benefit from the bonus.
