Plug-in Motorcycle Grant

The plug-in motorcycle grant (PiMG) was launched in 2016 to help bridge the price gap between the cost of zero emission motorcycles and petrol motorcycles. Some types of zero emission motorcycles are eligible for a grant from the government, so that you can buy them more cheaply. The grant provides a 35% discount, up to a maximum of £500, on eligible motorcycles. The seller includes the grant as a discount in the purchase price, so customers do not need to apply for it directly. To be eligible, motorcycles must have no CO2 emissions, be able to travel at least 50km (31 miles) between charges, and have a recommended retail price of less than £10,000 including VAT and delivery fees. The scheme is available to both private consumers and businesses purchasing a qualifying ultra-low emission vehicle and registering it to a UK address.
