The objective is to provide between 200 and 400 euros, depending on the model, with the purchase of an electric bicycle or a folding bicycle. The measure will be extended, as stated by the minister Ecolo during an arrest Wednesday in the Parliament of Wallonia.

The terms still need to be specified for the case of the latter. It is likely that it is necessary to go through a reseller opportunity, rather than a website that specializes in the second hand. With this enlargement, the amount of the premium will range from between 100 and 400 euros. The minister Henry intends to file its draft premiums on the table of the walloon government next week to discuss and fine-tune it.

If its implementation takes more time, it is not impossible to have a feedback mechanism for the people who would not have expected, ” says the minister’s office contacted by our care.
