The 2021 Bike Momentum: Everything You Need To Know About The Bike Repair Package
Content
In an effort to encourage the French to get back into the saddle, the exercise bike allows them to get a check for 50 euros to repair their bike or e-bike. Launched in May 2020, the Coup de Pouce bike circuit has been extended until March 31, 2021. Explanations.
Which bikes are suitable?
Classic or electric, all bikes, without exception, are eligible for the award, be it a city bike, VTC or even a mountain bike.
What is the premium for bike repairs?
The premium for repairing a bicycle is 50 euros excluding taxes. It can only be issued once per bike, not per person. This means that a family with multiple bikes that need to be repaired will be able to receive several bonuses.
If the request concerns a bicycle of a minor, only his legal representative can request assistance.
What steps need to be taken?
To benefit from the increased speed of the bike, it is necessary to go to a repair shop or a self-repair shop affiliated with the Alvéole network, which operates the system jointly with the state.
On the website https://www.coupdepoucevelo.fr you can find a list of approved professionals on an interactive map and even make an appointment.
Once in the repair shop, you must have an identity document and a mobile phone, which is used to receive an SMS message that allows you to unblock assistance. This amount will be deducted directly from your account. All you have to do is pay VAT if the repairman is responsible.
What expenses are reimbursed?
Bicycle speed boost concerns both parts replacement (tires, brakes, derailleur, etc.) and labor costs.
However, it cannot reimburse the purchase price for accessories (basket, lock, vest, helmet, etc.) and specific services such as anti-theft markings.
