Boulder, Colorado
Electric Bike Rebates and Tax Credits

The city is offering incentives to expand access to e-bikes, which will provide those living in the City of Boulder with a discount voucher to cover part of the cost of an e-bike bought from a participating bike shop. Vouchers will be available for commuter e-bikes and e-cargo bikes. Income-eligible applicants will receive larger discounts to help cover the upfront cost of e-bikes and important equipment. The incentives are funded by the city's Climate Tax and supported by a partnership with Community Cycles.

- Discounts of at least 10% off the purchase price through Benefits Boulder County program - Tax payer dollars spent on staff time and outreach to lower the cost of e-bikes

Boulder is likely to apply in 2023 for some of the $12 million in e-bike rebates that the state of Colorado is giving out.

This program is made possible with a generous grant by the Colorado Energy Office and in partnership with University of Colorado, Boulder Community Health, Small Planet eBikes, City of Boulder and Boulder County. Participants receive a two year loaner-to-owner program requiring a fee of $250 to be paid in full before receiving their ebike. The value of the bike and accessories is over $1500. Participants will also receive a free tune up with Small Planet eBikes at 150 miles and a 2-year Membership to Community Cycles, including an invitation to participate in classes and workshops on bicycle maintenance at low or no cost.
