Update: The July 25 round of e-bike rebates have been exhausted. Next round is Sept. 26.
Set your alarms: the city is handing out more e-bike rebates at 11 a.m. Tuesday.
It's the latest round of rebate giveaways as part of a climate initiative aimed at getting cars off the roads. In the past, rebates have been exhausted in a matter of minutes. The city has given out 6,118 rebates so far.
Denverites can get up to $300 for an e-bike, or $500 for an e-cargo bike. Residents who meet income requirements can get up to $1,200 for an e-bike and $1,400 for an e-cargo bike. Denverites can apply online when the portal opens Tuesday.
People with disabilities can get up to $1,400 for adaptive e-bikes. Because of the individual nature of these rebates, people can apply at any time by emailing [email protected].
To get a rebate, people need to upload pictures of documents proving Denver residency, and documents confirming income if applying for the income-based rebate. To qualify, residents must be below 60% of the state median income, below 200% of the federal poverty level or below 80% of the area median income (below $62,600 per year for a single person, or $71,550 for a household of two).
Rebates will also be available on Sept. 26 and Nov. 28.
