What does this involve?
The ebike Business Loan supports organisations that want to reduce the carbon impact of their transport and travel arrangements with new, more efficient alternatives. Interest-free loans of up to £30,000 are available to help with the cost of purchase.
The loan covers:
- new pedal-assisted electric bikes - up to £3,000 per bike
- new cargo bikes - up to £6,000 per bike
- new adapted cycles
Please note that if your organisation is replacing a car or van with a cargo or ecargo bike, there is no maximum limit per bike, as long as the cost is within the maximum loan amount of £30,000.
The loans are distributed by Energy Saving Trust and funded by Transport Scotland (an agency of the Scottish Government).

To be eligible:
- businesses must have been operating for a year or more
- the applicant must be the business who has ordered/will order the bicycle and will become the owner
What does this cost?
There is no cost to apply for the loan and the loans are interest-free.
