Do You want an Electric Ride? Paris Will give you 400€ to head to the store

Do you live in Paris and want to buy a two-wheeled EV? If so, you are eligible to receive €400 (or up to 25 percent of the purchase price) for an all-electric scooter. You might wonder which electric scooter models are currently available in France. There's the neo-retro eSolex, a few EVTs and many more that qualify for the money, as long as they don't go faster than 50 km/h (30 mph). The city has proudly announced that your new ride can be recharged at any of the 40 charging stations distributed around Paris, and the recharge is free! The city council is so interested in zero-emission two-wheelers that they, together with utility company EDF, even support a big bike shop called EME. Merci to Dominique for the tip.
