Subvenciones para la compra de bicicletas: Todo lo que necesitas saber
Good news for those looking for a more eco-friendly and cost-effective mode of transport! In Spain, you can benefit from annual subsidies for bicycle purchases through regional grant programs promoted by the Autonomous Communities.
The Spanish Association of Brands and Bicycles (AMBE) plays a key role in promoting cycling in the country, facilitating access to information about these grants. Although it does not grant the subsidies directly, AMBE actively collaborates with its members to promote the use of bicycles for transport, leisure, tourism, and sport. If you are thinking of purchasing a bicycle, whether electric or conventional, this is an excellent opportunity to do so.
What are these subsidies?
These grants are designed to incentivize bicycle purchases and reduce CO2 emissions in our cities. Until September 2024, the grant programs are only active in Madrid and Galicia, where they have already shown their positive impact. The grants have allowed more than 11,600 people to obtain bicycles, significantly reducing CO2 emissions and promoting more sustainable transport.
How to benefit?
To facilitate access to these grants, AMBE has launched a portal where you can check the availability of grants based on your location. Through this portal, you can find updated information about the programs available in your community. Currently, the programs are in effect only in Madrid and Galicia, but it is expected that they will be expanded to other regions in the future.
Grants and subsidies in Europe
In addition to the grants available in Spain, if you are in Europe, you can also benefit from tax incentives and subsidies in over 30 countries. The European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) has launched an online tool that allows you to explore all available opportunities at the national, regional, and local levels in countries such as Austria, France, Italy, and more. These programs are focused on reducing car use and promoting cycling as a sustainable alternative, with grants varying by type of bicycle, from electric to cargo bikes.
To learn more about the grants and how to apply for them, we recommend visiting the portal of AMBE and ECF, which are continuously updated with the latest information on available programs in Spain and Europe. Don’t miss the chance to get a new bicycle while contributing to a more sustainable future.
