New E-Bike Grants Offered

Wednesday, 14 August 2019 08:52

Islanders can once again apply for a government grant to buy an electric bike.

£150 is being offered to those who successfully apply to the scheme, which opens on Monday.

Bike shops are being urged to register. Retailers can then re-claim £150 from the Government of Jersey when they sell an e-bike to anyone who has joined the scheme.

A list of approved retailers will be published on 19th August.

From then, we can apply for a £150 grant towards a new or second-hand e-bike.

More than 500 were people were helped to buy a power-assisted pedal cycle the first e-bike scheme three years ago.
