Denver’s e-bike rebate program will open again on Monday, July 11! We will release a limited number of rebates each month in 2022. To be notified on release days, please subscribe to our newsletter.
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 Denver’s e-bike and e-cargo bikes. Denver residents can save up to $1700 on the purchase of an e-bike from a qualifying shop.
The release dates for 2022 are:
- Monday, July 11
- Monday, August 1
- Tuesday, September 6
- Monday, October 3
- Monday, November 7
- Monday, December 5
