The Government has set aside £7.5 million to offer a grant of up to £1500 to encourage the take up of electric motorcycles and scooters.
The Government is still working to finalise details of the scheme, including the grant level and final eligibility criteria, but it could be up and running in dealerships as early as this summer.
The move comes following meetings with the electric Motor Cycle Industry Association and Suzuki, Harley Davidson, BMW, Volt, and Mahindra.
Business Minister Matthew Hancock said: "Low emission vehicles are the future and show that we can meet our climate change commitments without giving up our cars or motorbikes.
"Electric motorcycles and scooters have got fantastic potential and can be a real force for good."
The funding is being made available from the £500 million Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) programme for the period 2015 to 2020.
