The ecological bonus for EAB in France

Yes, just like in your favourite video games, you can get a bonus, but IRL! But what is this ecological bonus? The ecological bonus, applied to electrically assisted bicycles (EAB), is a financial aid paid for the purchase of an EAB. This aid can be combined with the conversion bonus, as well as with other aid from local authorities, if the latter offer it. Since 15 August 2022, obtaining the ecological bonus no longer requires prior local aid.

Its amount

The total amount of the ecological bonus is limited to 400 euros. It does not depend on the price of your bike.

The conditions for obtaining it

You must :
  • Be an adult
  • Reside in France
  • Have a taxable income of less than or equal to €13,489 the year before the purchase of the bike
  • Have received assistance from your local authority
  • Not have already benefited from this aid (the ecological bonus can only be paid once per person)
As for your bike, it must :
  • Be new
  • Be equipped with a lead-free battery
  • Have an auxiliary electric motor with a maximum continuous power rating of 0.25 kilowatts. Your bike must not be capable of exceeding 25km/h.
  • Have a unique identifier on its frame
