Environmental Fund Details:
Like in previous years, subsidies this year reached €500 for urban electric, such as 50 Rebels, V-Series, and R-Series models. The Environmental Fund has various facets, one of which is the adoption of more sustainable transportation practices.
Switching from a car to an electric bike for medium-distance trips will significantly contribute to decarbonization, improving air quality, reducing noise, and decreasing traffic congestion. Besides, it will make your daily commutes much happier - trust us, we know what we're talking about!
And don't worry about autonomy; with our electric bikes, you can travel up to 100km on a single charge.
