This scheme has been extended after the government sees huge demand

Lithuania paid out 95% of the €8m set aside for the scheme. €3m is being added to the fund as they country mades a dedicated effort to push toward sustainable transport.
The Environmental Project Management Agency (APVA) of Lithuania is offering €1000 in exchange for old cars, on the condition that the money is invested in an electric bike, electric scooter or even an average bike. This deal is even better than it sounds as it may be possible to get the full amount even for vehicles that aren't worth the stated €1000. Most of the money has currently gone towards electric scooters with electric scooters and normal bikes making uo €4.95m, with only €269,000 spent on electric bikes.
