The Spanish cycling association, AMBE, has proposed a 15% tax deduction for the purchase of bicycles, including electric and cargo models. Under this plan, individuals could deduct up to 1,000 euros for mechanical bikes and 3,000 euros for electric or cargo bikes. These proposals were submitted to lawmakers and senators and are based on a study conducted with the Institute of Economics of Barcelona and the University of Barcelona. However, these are proposed measures and not yet enacted legislation. In France, the national bike bonus program, which provided financial assistance for purchasing electric bikes, was eliminated in February 2025. Starting in 2026, individuals buying an electric bike will no longer receive any state financial support. The former bonus could have reached up to 400 euros, depending on income and type of bike. Local government subsidies still exist, but they vary by location, creating uneven support based on postal codes. A "forfait mobilités durables" (sustainable mobility allowance) remains, offering up to 600 euros per year, but it depends on employer discretion and covers travel costs rather than the purchase of bikes. A serious electric bike can cost between 1,500 euros and 4,000 euros for a cargo model. The Spanish proposal also includes treating bicycles similarly to cars. For example, business bicycles up to 2,000 euros would be exempt from certain taxes. There would also be a defiscalized mileage allowance of 0.26 euros per kilometer, reduced VAT on purchase, rental, and repair (similar to Portugal's 6% rate since 2023), and a 50% VAT deduction for professionals. The goal is to create a stable framework rather than a one-time bonus. The tax deduction model in Spain offers administrative simplicity, as no application or documentation is required, and the state does not need to allocate funds. However, it would mainly benefit those who can already afford a bike, as non-taxable households would not benefit. Alternative mechanisms, such as refundable tax credits or direct payments, could be more socially inclusive. In the United Kingdom, mechanisms often involve employers and better target cargo bikes for the last mile. France has comparable tools, but they are less universal and less focused on cargo bikes.
