Question 38027 — cycles and motorcycles

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Gouffier-Cha draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition to the conditions for granting the electrically assisted bicycle bonus. The electrically assisted bicycle bonus is an aid for the purchase of a new electrically assisted bicycle awarded. This bonus was implemented by Decree No. 2017-196 of February 16, 2017 and initially granted to any adult individual with a domicile in France. Accompanying the dynamics of the VAE in France, the implementation of this bicycle bonus enabled an 89% increase in VAE sales in 2017, compared to 31% in 2016. The conditions for granting this aid were modified by Decree No. 2017-1851 of December 2017 by excluding from this aid residents of communities which have not established aid for VAEs, and by refocusing this aid on the poorest households. In 2018, and following the restriction of conditions of access to this aid, the curve of the increase in sales has changed significantly and went from + 89% in 2017 to + 22% in 2018, then to + 12% in 2019 according to figures from the Union sport cycle. The new conditionality criteria for the bicycle bonus have therefore significantly slowed down the progression of VAE sales in France, slowing down the growth that this mode of travel could have experienced during this period. Subsequently, the VAE has grown significantly due to the health crisis in 2020 and 2021, with certainly consequences on the number of VAE bonuses. Consequently, it asks it to communicate the consumption of credits for the electrically assisted bicycle bonus from 2017 to 2020 as well as the number of beneficiaries of this aid in order to evaluate the real effectiveness of this aid and to consider its improvement.
