Electric Bike Loan Fund Scheme in Scotland
What is the Scottish Government's Electric Bike Loan Scheme?
Pure Electric is proud to support the Scottish Government’s Low Carbon Transport Fund.
The Fund is available to those who want to shift to a greener, low carbon transport solution, providing an interest-free loan, repayable over a four-year term. We offer specialist cargo e-bikes as well as standard e-bikes to both individuals and businesses under the scheme.
Individuals can borrow up to £6,000 (1x cargo e-bike up to £6,000, up to 2x standard e-bikes up to £3,000 each).
Businesses can borrow up to £30,000 (max. £6,000 per cargo e-bike, up to £3,000 per standard e-bike)*
Schemes only applicable to individuals and businesses resident in Scotland. To be eligible, your business must have been trading for at least 1 year and be based in Scotland.
How to apply: Individuals

Check out our range of cargo e-bikes online or in our Glasgow or Edinburgh showrooms. Speak to an in-showroom advisor, contact customer services or our dedicated electric cargo bike team to choose your preferred model. We’ll then send you a quote for the order, taking an initial 10% deposit.
2. Start application
Call the Energy Saving Trust on 0808 808 2282 to start the application for your loan. You’ll receive an online form with your details pre-filled – complete and return this, along with our quote document, to the named email address. Your application should take 10-15 working days to process.

Please note: With the exception of an initial deposit, applicants must not make any other payment towards the purchase of the cargo e-bike(s) before receiving a loan offer under this programme: funding is NOT provided retrospectively.
