How to Get a Rebate with the Electric Bike Subsidy Policy?

Aug 01,2022 | SAMEBIKE

Climate change is the most pressing problem being faced by the world at the moment: almost every country is worried about rising climate emissions. So, more countries have come to focus on bringing new policies to curb fossil fuel usage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As vehicles remain one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, different countries are introducing electric bike subsidies to push more people to buy these bikes.

Countries Providing E-Bike Subsidy

 Electric bike subsidies are common in many first-world countries, which encourage more and more people to use electric bikes. Some of the countries which have introduced such subsidies include:

America

The American government provides a 30 % tax credit for electric bikes, helping users to save up to $900 while purchasing these bikes. This policy is in line with the climate agenda of the incumbent US government, which is trying to introduce green fuels into the markets.

France

Similarly, France has brought revolutionary policies to promote electric bikes. As per the French laws, an individual willing to purchase an electric bike gets up to 1500 euros from the government, and those who want to purchase cargo bikes are eligible to receive 1000 euros. This amount is only given if it does not exceed the 40 % of the total cost of the electric bike.

Australia

The Australian government is taking similar measures. For instance, Australia provides a 25 % subsidy for purchasing electric vehicles worth $4,000 or less. This means you will get a $500 subsidy if you buy an electric bike worth $2,000.

 

Conditions of Applying for E-bike Subsidy

However, this electric bike subsidy is not applicable across the board. In fact, you have to comply with some prerequisite conditions in order to qualify for a subsidy on electric bikes.

Age

The legal age to apply for the electric bike subsidy is 18 years in France. However, different states in the USA have different legal ages for driving electric bikes, so the age to apply for a subsidy also varies from state to state. Most states allow adults over 16 years old to apply for these subsidies.

Income

In France, your taxable income should be less than €13,489 to apply for an electric bike subsidy. However, in the United States, individuals who earn less than $75,000 per year are qualified for the full subsidy of $900. Similarly, joint filers can have an income of up to $150,000 to qualify for a subsidy of $900 each on two e-bikes.

Battery type

France is giving subsidies on bikes with lead-free batteries, while the US is incentivizing e-bikes that have a battery of 2.5 kWh or more.

Having pedals or not

Both the US and France require the purchase of Pedal-assist electric bikes for claiming subsidies.
