State bonus of 200 euros for the purchase of an electric bicycle.
It’s official since Saturday, February 18, 2017, the state will refund 200 € for any purchase of electric bike.
The bonus will be available for all purchases made from 20 February 2017 until 31 January 2018.

This help is therefore valid with all the electric-assisted bicycles offered by Les Roues de Lilou.
For example the purchase of a classic Pedego beach cruiser is from 1995 € with the purchase premium offered by the state …
Bonus of the same type were already granted by many cities and agglomerations, explains Le Monde, as for example the agglomeration Basque coast Adour. But this new subsidy, decreed Saturday and claimed by several associations of bike users, can not be combined with assistance granted by a community. It will therefore be necessary to study the aid available in his region because these are not cumulative, for example for all the habitants of Bayonne, Anglet, Biarritz, Boucau, and Bidart this aid can go up to 300 € for homes in family quotient of less than € 1,200 and € 150 for households with tax ratios between € 1,200 and € 2,200.
This aid will give a boost to the sale of electric bike assistance and is part of the energy transition program led by Ségolène Royal, who announced this aid before publication in the official journal.
