Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing an e-bike subsidy scheme.

The Government already supports e-bikes through the Cycle to Work scheme.

In addition, the Government has been trialling a national e-cycle programme to provide opportunities to try e-cycles through short term loans. Active Travel England is also funding local authority-led cycle loan and share schemes and continues to support authorities to implement e-cycle initiatives in their local communities.
