Question 5516 — cycles and motorcycles

Summary

Ms. Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization, responsible for transport, to the consequences of the removal of the bicycle bonus which came into force on February 15, 2025. However, the bicycle bonus constituted essential aid for access to sustainable and inclusive mobility, in particular for electric bicycles and adapted bicycles. A decree of February 2024 was to make this system of aid for the purchase of a bicycle, electric or not, used or new, sustainable until 2027. This elimination penalizes households with modest incomes, while according to the Active Mobility Observatory, in 2022, 47% of beneficiaries of the electric bicycle bonus had an income of less than 1,500 euros per month. Precarious workers, notably bicycle delivery men, were also beneficiaries of this aid to carry out their activity. This device was also essential for people with disabilities who often have to use specific bicycles, the cost of which can reach several thousand euros. The absence of financial support risks depriving them of an independent means of travel, thus reinforcing their isolation, while public transport otherwise remains largely unsuitable and exclusive. The stopping of a subsidy for soft mobility useful to the most precarious and people with disabilities is worrying in a context of climate emergency. It contravenes essential commitments in favor of sustainable and inclusive mobility. Also, she asks him when this bicycle bonus will be reinstated or if new measures are planned by the Government to compensate for inequalities in access to mobility and ensure that the public most vulnerable are not left behind by this decision.
