Elektrisk lastesykkel til bedrifter

Oslo kommune Klimaetaten offers a grant ("tilskudd") towards the purchase of new electric cargo bikes by businesses, published on the funder's climate site klimaoslo.no under the heading "Elektrisk lastesykkel for bedrifter" (Electric cargo bike for businesses).

The grant covers part of the purchase cost: "Det gis tilskudd på inntil 15 % av kostnadene ved kjøp av sykkel." (A grant is given of up to 15 % of the costs of purchasing the bike.) There is an upper limit per business: "Bedriften din kan motta maksimalt 150 000 kroner i tilskudd." (Your business can receive a maximum of 150,000 kroner in grant.) The number of bikes is also capped: "Det gis tilskudd til maksimalt ti elektriske lastesykler per bedrift." (Grant is given for a maximum of ten electric cargo bikes per business.)

Applications can be submitted throughout the year, with no fixed deadline: "Det kan søkes hele året." (One can apply all year.)

The page states the grant is aimed at businesses registered in Oslo and in the Norwegian business register (Brønnøysundregisteret), and not private individuals, public actors, or housing associations. It applies to new, fully assembled electric cargo bikes purchased from shops (including open or closed cargo-box models and electric longtail bikes), and not to used bikes, self-build kits, or private purchases. The business must not order the bike or start the project before the application is approved.

The application is submitted via the funder's grants portal at https://tilskuddsportalen.klimaoslo.no/utlysning/01D76549-99C0-4E1D-BB97-A6EDAA86240E. According to the page, applicants receive a response within about two weeks; the project is then completed and a final report submitted, after which payment is made to the registered account.
