More incentives to buy bicycles! Know what has changed …

Are you thinking about buying a bike? Do you already know the incentives of the government? This week, Diário da República reported that boss Antonio Costa will “offer” over 1,785 “checks” for the purchase of regular and electric bicycles.

In accordance with Order No. 8363/2021 Office No. 2535/2021 that regulates the provision of incentives for the introduction of low-emission vehicles in 2021.

In line with the above, an incentive is being created to introduce into consumption low-emission vehicles with a global distribution of EUR 4,500,000 (four million five hundred thousand euros). This means that the amount of benefits has increased by 500 thousand euros compared to what was originally determined.

It should be noted that this new procedure changes the number of benefits provided to vehicles of the 4th and 5th typology, that is, electric and regular bicycles, respectively.

With regard to electric bicycles, the order mentions that "reward units will be issued up to a maximum limit of 3142 units ordered in accordance with the date and time of filing the reward application." For regular bicycles "Incentive credits will be awarded up to a maximum limit of 1000 units, ranked according to the date and time the promotion request was submitted.".

According to the Environmental Fund, 2,769 applications were submitted for 100% e-bikes, motorcycles and mopeds. Of these, 1,300 have already been adopted. There were 1,349 applications for regular bicycles, of which 613 were approved.
