Companies with fewer than 50 employees, you will be able to benefit from bicycle leasing assistance from the beginning of 2024. More information to come.
Which bikes are concerned? What are the conditions for benefiting from the aid?
The following bicycles can be the subject of a request for aid from Île-de-France Mobilités:
· Electrically assisted bicycle (EAB)
· Folding bike
· Cargo bike with or without electric assistance (AE)
· Electrification kit for a professionally installed bike
· Adapted bicycle¹ for emancipated adults and minors who can justify that they cannot use a conventional bicycle
· Mechanical bike for 15-25 year olds
Île-de-France Mobilités' participation is 50% of the purchase price of the bike, within the limits of the following ceilings:
· For an e-bike, folding bike and cargo bike without AE: €400 maximum from September 1, 2023
· For a cargo bike with AE: 600€ maximum
· For an electrification kit for a bike installed by a professional: 200€ maximum
· For an adapted bike: 1200€ maximum
· For a mechanical bike: €100 maximum
Bicycles must comply with the regulations in force². Bicycles can be new or refurbished, as long as they are sold by a professional and not by a private individual.
Which accessories are concerned?
Some accessories are also eligible for the aid, if they are purchased at the same time as the bike. They must appear on the same invoice as that of the bicycle.
For electrically assisted bicycles, cargo bikes, folding bikes, electrification kits and mechanical bikes, these are: basket/panniers, helmet and lock.
For adapted bikes, these are accessories to help with the use or handling of the bike such as: pedal accessories, handlebars, at the level of the transmission allowing the support of a part of the body or safety accessories such as turn signals and mirrors.
Additional aid
This aid is independent of the aid provided by other local authorities in Île-de-France. If such aid exists in your municipality, you can apply for it directly from your municipality.
Also remember to find out about the aid offered by the State: bicycle bonuses and conversion bonuses.
For adapted bicycles, the Île-de-France Mobilités subsidy is calculated on the amount remaining to be paid, after having benefited from any local aid and reimbursement under the Health Insurance, the Mutuelle or other applicable funds. You must therefore first apply for this aid(s), if they exist, and wait for the result, before applying for aid from Île-de-France Mobilités.
What are the conditions for benefiting from the aid?
To be eligible for assistance with the purchase of a bicycle, you must:
· Be a natural person
· Living in Île-de-France
· Be of legal age (or emancipated minor) for all types of bicycles except mechanical bicycles, for which the subsidy is reserved for 15-25 year olds inclusive
