Colorado’s E‑Bike Tax Credit Is Changing — Here’s What Riders Need to Know

And yes… Boost Ebikes was featured on CBS News Colorado
Colorado’s popular e‑bike tax credit program is shifting gears, and if you’re thinking about buying an e‑bike in 2026, the timing matters.
​
As reported by CBS News Colorado, the statewide upfront discount for qualified e‑bike purchases dropped from $450 to $225 on January 1. The program isn’t going away — but the savings are now half of what they were in 2025.

At Boost Ebikes, we’ve seen firsthand how meaningful this incentive has been for riders across the state. In fact, CBS News Colorado visited our Littleton shop to talk about the impact of the program and the growing demand for e‑bikes in Colorado. Owner Erik Knight shared why so many residents are choosing electric: cleaner commuting, more fun on the trails, and a more accessible way to stay active.

What Changed on January 1?

• The statewide e‑bike tax credit dropped from $450 to $225.
• The credit still applies to new, qualifying e‑bikes purchased from participating retailers.
• More than 20,000 Coloradans have already used the program since its launch in 2023.
  ​

Even with the reduced amount, Colorado remains one of the few states offering a statewide e‑bike incentive — something we’re proud to help residents take advantage of.

Why the Credit Still Matters

E‑bikes continue to surge in popularity across Colorado. Riders love them for:

• Reducing car trips and emissions
• Making commuting easier
• Expanding access to Colorado’s incredible bike path network
• Adding a little extra fun to everyday rides
  ​

CBS highlighted one rider who used the credit to buy her first e‑bike — and then came back for a second one for her husband because the experience was so positive.
