With the support of the Scottish government switching to electric is more affordable than you think.

Did you know NIU Scooters are eligible for Transport Scotlands Electric vehicle loan scheme?

This means riding off on your new NIU electric moped could cost you as little as £27 per month which is half the price of a monthly bus pass! The electric vehicle loan is funded by Transport Scotland and NIU are delighted to be one of the few eligible electric moped brands to be part of the scheme.

Edinburgh has always been at the forefront of creating a net-zero emissions Scotland, and was recently nominated the “greenest” city in the UK. Due to Edinburgh’s traffic congestion problems, there is a huge drive locally, and also at Scottish government level to promote the sales of low emissions vehicles.

So what does this mean for you? 

This means if you are a Scottish resident you have access to the electric vehicle loan scheme. You can take a completely interest free loan from the Scottish government and pay at back over an affordable period up to 6 years.

We are here to guide you through the process so that you can make the transition to electric with ease and make repayments that are affordable to you.

So grab the funding thats available for this financial year. Applications need to be in by the 31st of March 2021.

Heres what one of our customers had to say about the process -

"Overall i found applying for the electric vehicle loan really easy. Ross was a great help providing me with the contact details and stuff like the invoice for the loan when needed. Home energy Scotland, who i had to call in the first instance were good too, in addition to the loan they took me through other ways i could reduce my carbon footprint and reduce costs round the home. They sent through information on the loans or schemes available to me in a separate email.

Once i had an application number for the energy saving trust the process was all fairly simple, you fill out the online application and get a quick credit check before the loan application is submitted.

After that it was just a case of waiting for the final documentation. Over all from starting my application to the payment being initiated took about 2 weeks, which in the midst of a global pandemic is pretty good going"
