¥20,000 toward replacing the battery of an electric-assist bicycle with a child seat

When you replace the battery of an electric-assist bicycle used to carry children, ¥20,000 is subsidized toward the cost. If you replace only the charger, half of the purchase price (rounded down to the nearest ¥1,000) is covered. The aim is to prevent the assist from cutting out while riding because of a worn-out battery. It covers households living in the city raising a preschool child aged 1 or older. The conditions are obtaining a bicycle safety mark, having bicycle insurance, crime-prevention registration and taking an e-learning course, and the subsidy is once per household. New genuine manufacturer batteries bought at a bicycle shop on or after April 1, 2026 are covered. The second-half FY2026 recruitment is accepted through the application form from October 1 to October 23, 2026. There are 400 places, chosen by lottery, and results are expected to arrive at your registered email address during November.
