• the applicant's first name and surname
• the date of purchase between 11 May 2020 and 31 March 2022 (date of paid invoice)

• the purchase price excluding VAT.

Yes, children's bikes are also eligible for grants if they are proper bikes, i.e. "a bicycle within the meaning of the Highway Code". On the other hand, children's bicycles that do not meet the definition of a bicycle (for example those without pedals – “Laufrad”) are not eligible.
