Amsterdam residents who have a Stadspas (City Pass) are able to trade in their old fossil-fuel moped or scooter for an electric model and will benefit from a €1,000 discount against it.

Holders of the Stadspas, which is available to residents of Amsterdam or Weesp who are on a low income and have limited funds, can now switch to cleaner electric personal transport more affordably. Gemeente Amsterdam (Amsterdam Local Authority) has outlined simple steps which will allow residents to benefit from the scheme:

• Request the discount via the online registration form.
• After approval, receive a credit on your Stadspas.
• Hand in your old petrol moped or scooter at one of the shops participating in the promotion.
• At the same store you can buy a new or second-hand electric moped, scooter or moped with a €1,000 discount.

The campaign runs until 2027 or until the budget runs out.

Emission-free zone since 2025

Amsterdam has had an emission-free zone for mopeds and scooters within built-up areas since 1 January 2025. Mopeds and scooters that are newly registered from 1 January 2025 must be electric to be allowed to drive in the emission-free zone. For older petrol-powered mopeds or scooters from before 1 January 2025, transitional rules apply. From 2030, only electric vehicles will be permitted. More information can be found here.
