Subsidy for the purchase of a pedelec25 or a bicycle

Last update

This page is currently being updated.

In order to encourage private citizens to opt for electromobility and active mobility, thereby ensuring sustainable clean mobility, a subsidy is available for the purchase of a new bicycle or a new electrically assisted pedal bicycle (pedelec25) for private use.

On 19 June 2024, the Government Council adopted a draft Grand Ducal regulation aimed at extending by 3 months (from July to September 2024) and under unchanged conditions the 'Klimabonus Mobilitéit' financial aid scheme for the promotion of zero-emission CO2 road vehicles, subject to the finalisation of the legislative and regulatory procedures.

The extension applies to vehicles purchased by 30 September 2024 at the latest.

From 1 October 2024, financial aid for bicycles and pedal-assist cycles (50% of the cost excluding VAT, up to a maximum of EUR 600) is reserved for people who belong to a household in receipt of the cost-of-living allowance or the energy allowance at the time of purchase of the bicycle or pedal-assist cycle.

Also from 1 October 2024, new financial aid of 50% of the cost (excluding VAT) of the vehicle, up to a maximum of EUR 1,000, will be introduced for cycles and pedal-assist cycles designed to carry, behind and/or in front of the rider, other people and/or larger goods than on a conventional bicycle ('cargo bike').

This new financial aid scheme applies to vehicles purchased between 1 October 2024 and 30 June 2026.

Who is concerned

The subsidy is available to natural persons who reside in Luxembourg, for their personal needs, whether they are an adult or a minor.

Applications on behalf of a minor have to be submitted by their legal guardian.

Financial assistance can only be granted once every 5 years per individual.

The financial aid is granted for new vehicles whose invoice is established between 1 January 2019 and 30 June 2024 inclusive. The financial aid does not apply to a vehicle that is to be resold or exported.

Electric scooters, hoverboards, solowheels, and other devices for urban board sports are not eligible.

Prerequisites

There are no restrictions with regard to the place of purchase of the bicycle or pedelec25, i.e. it can be purchased in Luxembourg, abroad or on the internet.

Deadlines

The financial aid application must be submitted 1 year at the latest after the purchase of the vehicle.
