The scheme is now closed
The planned July 2024 application process has been cancelled.
Closure of the E-bike Grant Scheme
We have decided to cancel the final release of e-bike grants because of the low redemption rate of vouchers awarded under scheme.
We're not planning to offer any more e-bike grants.
About the E-bike Grant Scheme
The E-bike Grant Scheme offered a grant toward the cost of buying a new electric bike (e-bike) through a registered supplier.
Individuals could only apply for 1 type of e-bike grant each release and could only receive 1 grant per person.
We released grants in batches during 2023 and 2024. Grants were awarded on a first come first served basis.
All e-bikes used in Jersey must comply with the definition of 'electrically assisted pedal cycles' found in the
Pedal Cycles (Jersey) Order 1998.
Why encourage e-bike use
The
Carbon Neutral Roadmap (CNR) was agreed by the States Assembly in April 2022. It sets out how Jersey will meet its long-term target of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 in line with the Paris agreement.
Benefits of e-bikes include:
- low emission of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases
- help reduce traffic congestion
- provide access for those who may struggle with a regular push bike
- improve air quality
- assist with tackling the hilly Jersey topography
- increase physical activity
