In Sweden you can get government support when buying E-Bikes, 25% of up to 1000 euro. Some smaller electric scooters falls under the same category. E-Bikes are still rather expensive though. But, and there are buts, E-Bikes are heavy so you can't bring them up home, on the other hand they are more prone to theft due to their price. E-Bikes can also be more dangerous compared to other alternatives, some models use standard bikes equipped with an added motor- those are not stable and have sub standard brakes. The better quality ones are better but they allow untrained people to reach speeds they were not trained for, sometimes without proper safety equipment.
