Incentives are also available in 2024 for those who want to purchase an electric motorbike or scooter. Three months after the launch of the ecobonus for two-wheeled vehicles, over 20 million funds are still available on the MISE website. However, the funds for combustion engine vehicles have run out.
In the first three months of disbursement of the 2024 ecobonus for electric motorcycles and scooters, almost 22 million euros were requested, approximately half of the 45 million euros of incentives allocated for the 2024 Ecobonus. Starting from 23 January 2024, it is possible to place on the platform ecobonus.mise.gov.it applications to take advantage of the 2024 incentives for electric motorcycles and scooters. Applications are processed until available resources are exhausted. As regards incentives for combustion engine vehicles, the allocation of 5 million euros was exhausted in the first week.
According to ANCMA (National Cycle Motorcycle Accessories Association), a further 17 million should be allocated in 2024, in addition to the 45 million already allocated, thanks to resources derived from the redistribution of funds advanced in the years 2022 and 2023.
The Ecobonus 2024 for electric motorcycles and scooters
The 2024 incentive for electric motorcycles and scooters is 30%, up to a maximum of 3.000 euros, for purchase without scrapping, while it is 40%, up to a maximum of 4.000 euros, for the purchase with scrapping of an old vehicle with homologation between Euro 0 and Euro 3. The eco-bonus is calculated on the percentage of the purchase price of a new electric vehicle, belonging to the categories L1e, L2e, L3e, L4e, L5e, L6e, L7e.

Who can apply for the 2024 Ecobonus?
Anyone who purchases a category vehicle from L2024e to L1e is entitled to the 7 Ecobonus. This includes two, three or four-wheeled mopeds and motorcycles with no power limits. Those who benefit from the incentives will not be able to resell the vehicle for 12 months. The same duration also applies to legal entities that purchase a vehicle intended for rental, while in the case of sharing the commitment increases to 24 months. The limit expires if the vehicle is purchased by a legal person who does not intend the vehicle for a specific use.
