Barcelona City Council will offer subsidies to residents who want to trade in their combustion engine mopeds for electric ones. This Monday, Mayor Jaume Collboni announced that the council will offer €600 in aid to all Barcelona residents who wish to switch from the more polluting 49cc mopeds to an electric model. The program will launch on March 1, 2026, last four years, and is exclusively for drivers registered as residents of the Catalan capital. The plan will have an initial investment of €15 million and, as Collboni explained – after arriving on an electric motorcycle – aims to have Barcelona "a 100% electric, zero-emissions moped fleet" by 2030. Currently, there are 32,000 registered mopeds in Barcelona, ​​25% of which are already electric (8,000), while the rest are combustion-engine mopeds, according to city council data. To receive the €600 subsidy, two requirements must be met: being registered as a resident of Barcelona and scrapping the combustion-engine moped. As Collboni explained, an initial receipt will be issued at the scrapyard, and the second required document is the purchase invoice for the electric moped. Finally, with both documents, a form can be completed to access the subsidy directly. According to the City Council, the €600 subsidy for the vehicle conversion covers between 16% and 40% of the total price of an electric moped.
