Denver, CO, August 24, 2026 —
DENVER, CO – Colorado residents seeking to purchase electric bicycles will have another opportunity as the state’s e-bike rebate program reopens registration on Monday, August 24th. The initiative, backed by $3 million in funding, aims to increase the accessibility of e-bikes across the state.
The program offers two tiers of rebates. Standard e-bike purchases are eligible for a $1,000 rebate. Additionally, rebates for e-cargo bikes or adaptive e-bikes, designed for individuals with disabilities, will also be available. Specific amounts for these specialized rebates were not provided.
Eligibility for the program is determined by household income. Applicants must demonstrate a household income at or below 80% of the area median income to qualify for a rebate. Further details on income verification requirements were not specified.
The application window is set to open on August 24th and will close on August 31st. During this period, interested residents can submit their applications. Following the application period, recipients of the rebates will be selected through a random drawing process. The timeline for notification of selected applicants was not provided.
This program is part of a broader effort to encourage the adoption of electric bicycles, which can serve as an alternative transportation option, potentially reducing reliance on motor vehicles and promoting healthier lifestyles. The availability of financial incentives is intended to lower the upfront cost barrier for many potential e-bike owners in Colorado.
