Conversion bonus from 1 500 to 3 000 € per person
If you scrap an old vehicle (pre-2006 car or van for petrol engines, and pre-2011 for diesel) that you have owned for more than a year, you can receive a conversion premium of 40% of the purchase price of the power-assisted bicycle up to the limit of €1,500, regardless of your income level. This premium may be paid to each member of the same household buying an electric, folding, cargo, etc. bicycle until December 31, 2023, when it was previously unique, by old vehicle scrapped.
If your tax income per share is less than or equal to €6,358, or if you are disabled, this premium can reach €3,000 (or still 40% of the purchase price of the bicycle).
If you live in a low-emission area and your local authority has provided you with assistance to purchase or rent an electric bicycle, this premium is increased by €1,000.
FYI : The bonus and the conversion bonus remain cumulable with local assistance, if the local authority where you live has provided one. Some regions (Ile-de-France, Grand Est, Pays de Loire, Occitanie, Corsica) and several cities grant aid of up to €600, and are added to State aid without being included in the calculation of the ceiling.
Only one application is required for both aids.
