This country offers a subsidy of 4,000 euros for citizens who switch to cycling!

    France is pushing city drivers to abandon cars in favor of smaller, greener modes of transport. In order to reduce pollution and carbon dioxide emissions, France plans to increase the proportion of citizens who cycle to work and travel to work to around 9% by 2024, so subsidies of up to 4,000 euros will be provided to citizens who start using electric bicycles instead of cars. The subsidy also applies to classic two-wheeled bikes. However, not everyone has equal rights to receive the most incentives, and the French government will give priority to low-income citizens living in urban areas, and citizens with higher incomes will receive fewer incentives depending on the proportion of income.

    The subsidy scheme also envisages incentives for citizens who are reluctant to give up their cars altogether but are interested in adding e-bikes as a daily commute. In this case, the French government will provide subsidies of up to 400 euros. Through this program, the government expects to improve the efficiency and sustainability of transportation. In fact, in addition to pollution and traffic jams in cities, many vehicles are not fully loaded with passengers, and many vehicles often have only one driver in the car.

    As part of the city's incentive bike program, the Paris government also announced a €250 million budget to major upgrades to its cycling infrastructure. By 2026, Paris will add 180 kilometers of permanently isolated bike lanes. The number of bicycle parking spaces will more than triple to 180,000 on top of the current 60,000. Paris will also pay particular attention to the infrastructure around bike lanes and neighboring suburban connection points to the city to better integrate the wider metropolitan area.

    France is not the only country pursuing sustainable transport policies. Many European cities are accelerating the pace of planning urban transport systems, and cars will no longer be the main means of transport. Croatia plans to increase the share of bicycle traffic to 8% by 2025. Rome, London, Frankfurt and Oslo have all imposed restrictions or special taxes on car traffic in urban areas to discourage people from driving in the busiest urban environments. Many European cities are developing cycling infrastructure, expanding bike lanes and converting car lanes and parking lanes into public transport lanes or bike lanes. Some countries can receive incentives and subsidies as long as they ride a bicycle to work, providing citizens with additional motivation to ride.

    The modern concept of urban transportation planning strives to adapt to more environmentally responsible modes of transportation, superimposed on the long-term accumulation of cycling culture and adapt to the urban structure of electric bicycle travel, so European consumers have a high acceptance of electric bicycles, the demand for electric bicycles is also rich, and the acceptance of price is also wider, the product price is 1000-2000 euros is the main consumption range, and the age distribution of consumers is multipolar, It can be said that Europe is now the richest and most mature region in the overseas electric bicycle market. With the effective carbon neutrality policy in recent years, the world has entered a period of high explosive consumption of new energy, and electric bicycles have become the focus of consumption in the European and American markets. As a big country of bicycle travel in the European market, under the dual pressure of economic downturn and rising oil prices, electric bicycles as a compromise solution, will usher in long-term and stable growth in the coming days, I hope that all cross-border trade practitioners do not miss this wave of opportunities, detailed insider welcome to come to the detailed discussion.
