The September e-bike rebate application is now closed. If you’ve already applied for a rebate, your application will be processed within 10 business days. To be notified on release days, please subscribe to our newsletter. The next release date is Monday, October 3 at 8 a.m.
E-bikes are electric bicycles with a motor that gives riders a boost. E-bikes use rechargeable batteries and travel up to 28 m.p.h. When you use an e-bike to get around, you can:
- Save thousands of dollars per year on fuel and maintenance by replacing daily car trips with e-bike rides
- Bike greater distances and across harder terrain
- Set aside worries about arriving sweaty at your destination
- Reduce your carbon footprint while running errands or commuting to work
A limited number of rebates are available each month for e-bike and e-cargo bikes. Denver residents can save up to $1700 on the purchase of an e-bike or e-cargo bike from a participating bike shop.
The next round of rebates will be available on Monday, October 3 at 8 a.m. Rebates will be available, with more than half of the available funding reserved for income-qualified residents. To be notified on application release days, please subscribe to our newsletter.
