Bicycle trailer subsidies: How Germany supports the switch to bicycles

The mobility revolution is in full swing, and more and more people are choosing bicycles as their primary means of transportation. To support this trend, Germany has various federal and state subsidy programs for the purchase of bicycles, e-bikes, and (e-)cargo bikes. But what about bike trailers? In this blog post, we'll give you an overview!

Bicycle trailer subsidies: What is possible?

Just as there are purchase incentives for cars, there are also a growing number of them for bicycles. These incentive programs aim to reduce CO2 emissions from road traffic and encourage the switch to more environmentally friendly modes of transport. They are aimed at private individuals , municipalities, and companies.

Where can I find the funding programs?

The funding landscape in Germany is diverse and sometimes difficult to navigate. There are some funding programs at the federal level , but most are anchored at the state or even municipal level. These programs are often time- limited , and the budget can be quickly used up if many people take advantage of the offer. Therefore, it's always worth acting quickly! Below you'll find a link to an overview!

Are bicycle trailers subsidized?

Unfortunately, bike trailers aren't yet as widely considered in funding programs as cargo bikes. That's a shame, because they serve the same purpose and, thanks to their flexibility, can often be better integrated into everyday life. But don't worry, we'll give you an overview; our Hautoo bike trailers are now often subsidized by up to 25%!

Promotion of cargo bikes and bicycle trailers

There are currently over 80 subsidy options in Germany and Austria that allow you to save up to 25% if you qualify for a purchase incentive program for our cargo trailer! The subsidies vary depending on where you live. You can find a good overview on the cargobike.jetzt website.

Almost all German states have municipal funding programs for cargo bikes and trailers. For example, the city of Munich supports trailers with 25% of the net cost up to a maximum of €250. Since July 1, 2022, you can submit an informal application as part of the so-called "early start of the measure."
