New government grant for E-kick scooters in Malta.
In last Novembers budget for 2024, the finance minister Clyde Caruana announced the extension of the renewable vehicles act to privately owned E-kick scooters. In a ‘surprised move’, Transport minister Aaron Farrugia has announced the outright ban on RENTAL E-kick scooters as of March 2024 however has emphasized the importance of renewable transport such as privately owned E-kick scooters.
Currently grants are available to practically every other electric vehicle, from E-cycles to E-trucks however the grant was never extended to E-Kick scooters, as of 2024 E-scooters will be more accessible to individuals further reducing the carbon footprint and congestion in our roads.
Finance minister Clyde Caruana hasn’t yet specified the exact amount of financial help prospective E-kick scooter users will receive, in fact it was a one liner which leaves us all quite curious. We will add to this article as soon as any announcement are made, meanwhile we ‘Sensible E-scooter users’ can only be grateful that our private scooter wasn’t also banned.
Tech Boss is awaiting further information regarding Grants for E-Kick scooter.
As rental companies allowed their customers to run wild on Maltese roads, tensions between residents and the government escalated, we @ Tech Boss worked very hard to keep the private E-kick scooter away from any likely bans. We thank the transport minister Dr Aaron Farrugia for believing in sensibly used kick scooters, on the other hand still think an outright ban on rental scooters was a little excessive.
