The following list provides the requested details of the vouchers applied for, issued and redeemed for Tranches 1, 2 and 3 of the e-Bike incentive.

Islanders have used vouchers awarded under the e-Bike incentive to purchase a total of 138 e-Bikes, e-Cargo bikes and adapted e-Bikes from 33 different manufacturers via 10 local retailers between the scheme’s launch and 4 August 2023. Due to the small numbers of each type of e-Bike purchased with vouchers from each tranche, disclosure control has been applied to protect the privacy of individuals and numbers fewer than five have been represented as ‘<5’. Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied. Figures have been omitted with a dash ( - ) where these would have the effect of effectively disclosing the values fewer than five that have been supressed.  

Table 1 of the attached document provides details of the types and quantities of bikes purchased in each Tranche. Retail price ranges have been given where five or more incentives were redeemed for any eligible type of bike from the same manufacturer as part of each Tranche. 

Table 2 of the attached document provides details of the types and quantities of bikes purchased from local retailers in each Tranche.
