Only two documents are needed to complete the procedure: one proving the purchase of the new moped and the other proving the scrapping of the old one. Vehicle compounds operated by Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (BSM) offer a free scrapping service for citizens and issue a valid certificate to apply for the subsidy. Once the applicant has the two documents, they can formalise their request on the Mobility and Transport website.

The amount of the subsidy will be 600 euros per new electric moped, limited to 50% of the price without VAT. The goal is to replace the 18,000 combustion mopeds currently circulating in the city. According to the data available, estimates put the volume of annual CO₂ emissions from these vehicles at 3,000 tonnes.

The call will be open until 30 September 2028, with an overall budget of 5.2 million euros. The subsidy call will also soon be announced at recharging points and battery exchange points.

The measure is part of the Climate Plan, the municipal strategy to decarbonise the city and at the same time shift to electric mobility, with the support of the organisations making up the Motorcycle Observatory.
