Title: UK to subsidize electric motorcycles and scooters
Post by: Richard230 on April 03, 2015, 03:56:47 AM

According to this article, the UK will soon be providing a subsidy of up to 1,500 pounds for each electric motorcycle or scooter sold in the country:

If only we could have that in France.
I already wrote to our government but never had an answer.
I just wrote to the FFMC (the bigger biker's organisation in France) to see if they can do something alike.

Same in BC, Canada.  I asked them why and they simply repeated their position without reason.

This was a very strong lobby effort by BMW. They need to develop the UK market for their C-Evolution....which is behind other countries..
