Ulsan City Launches Second Phase of Electric Motorcycle Supply Project... 250 Units to Be Provided

Purchase Subsidy for Electric Motorcycles Varies by Model and Performance

Ulsan City is accelerating the transition to eco-friendly two-wheeled vehicles by distributing an additional 250 electric motorcycles this year, following the supply of 202 units earlier in 2026.

On September 18, Ulsan City announced that it will implement the "2026 Second Phase Civilian Supply Project for Electric Motorcycles," which provides purchase subsidies for electric motorcycles.

Previously, Ulsan City had completed the distribution of 202 electric motorcycles by utilizing 91% of the municipal funds secured in the first half of this year. For this second phase project, the city is allocating an additional 200 million won from its budget, supplying 250 more units.

Eligible applicants are citizens who have resided in Ulsan for at least 60 days as of the application date, as well as corporations and businesses with offices or facilities in Ulsan. Individuals may apply for up to one unit, sole proprietors up to ten units, and there are no quantity limits for corporations or organizations.

The amount of the purchase subsidy will vary depending on the size and type of the electric motorcycle, its fuel efficiency, driving range, climbing capability, and other performance factors.

Notably, small business owners, vulnerable groups, and farmers who use motorcycles primarily for their livelihood will receive an additional 20% on top of the national subsidy. Those purchasing electric motorcycles for delivery purposes and using them for deliveries for at least six months may receive an additional 10% of the national subsidy.

Applicants who purchase an electric motorcycle after scrapping or deregistering an internal combustion engine motorcycle will receive a fixed additional subsidy of 300,000 won.

Applications must be made through automobile manufacturers or importers after buyers sign purchase agreements. The manufacturers or importers will then proceed with the application via the Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Environment's integrated online system for zero-emission vehicles.

However, electric bicycles and other types of vehicles that do not meet the definition of motorcycles under Article 3 of the Motor Vehicle Management Act are excluded from eligibility.

A Ulsan City official stated, "The expansion of the electric motorcycle supply project is having a significant impact not only on achieving carbon neutrality and improving air quality, but also on reducing noise. We encourage active participation from citizens and business owners in the second phase of the civilian supply project for electric motorcycles."
